I just got a Kindle, so I'm sorry if I'm asking noob questions, but:

1) When I read most books, the little dots under the title turn boldface as I go through them. I think these are chapter dots? But I just read a book (downloaded from Amazon) that had dots that didn't turn bold when I read it. What's that about?

2) If I buy a book from Amazon while my Kindle is off, then when I turn it on, even after turning on wireless, it doesn't appear immediately. Even if I go to menu and ask it to sync, the book doesn't appear. It eventually shows up if I go buy another book, but only then. This is... puzzling.
