Kindler2,
I urge you to persevere. The Kindle is just like any other gadget. You have to invest a bit of time in learning your way round, but once you've got the hang of it, it's extremely simple to use.
Your first stop should be to visit the "Manage Your Kindle" page on the Amazon website. Go to the Kindle section of the page, and look for the "Manage Your Kindle" link on the left-hand side, under "Around the Store".
Actually, you should already have been there, because that's where you will have registered your Kindle for PC application.
Click on the "Register a new Kindle" link, and enter the 16-digit serial number from the back of the Kindle.
Next, scroll down the page. You should see a list of the books that you purchased for your Kindle for PC. In each case, select your Kindle from the "Deliver To .." dropdown. This will cause the book in question to be sent to the device.
(I'm assuming you are in Whispernet range. If so, make sure that Whispernet is switched on. That should be obvious from the little icon at the top-right of the Kindle screen. If you're outside Whispernet, you can still get your books onto the Kindle but it's a little more complicated.)
Once you've got the books on the device, you should see all the titles when you press the Home button.
To read a book, use the five-way controller. This is like a joystick. Move it down to get the pointer on the title you want. Then press the five-way controller. (It's a bit like using a mouse on the computer.)
The above should get you started. Give it a try, and come back if you need any more help.
