regardless... when I pick up the Kindle, all I do is push two buttons with one hand and I am either looking at the book I was last reading, or my home page which lists my content. I never have to "log on"

This all sounds correct. The serial number is tied to your account when it ships by Amazon, so it doesn't /need/ your login information. Amazon's servers takes the serial number, looks it up and goes "Aha! It belongs to this person, and here's the account information needed for purchases."
If you sell or give your Kindle to someone else, you have to actually remove it from your account, and have them add it to theirs unless you are sharing an account (which is probably not a great idea unless you trust them with your CC#). You can login with your Amazon account on the website and see the Kindles attached to your account and manage them that way.
