This gave me a bit of a scare because I charged my Kindle this way straight out of the box and the buttons were so unresponsive I thought I had a faulty device.
Anyone else experienced this?

I just received 2 Kindles. I charged the first Kindle through the computer USB - no problems. I tried to charge the second Kindle through my iPhone mains to USB charger and had the exact same problems as you. Also, I don't think it charged at all (in fact, it seemed to discharge), and when I removed it from charge, the screen display still showed as charging. As with your situation, a restart fixed the problem.
I then plugged the first Kindle in to the iPhone charger and the exact same thing happened to it.
I am in Australia and the Kindles only shipped with a USB charger cable. This is OK at home, but am now trying to buy a Kindle-specific mains charger to use when travelling.
