Incidentally, when Amazon pushes the update via Wi-Fi, will it be available via 3G too? Or will the update be disabled while using 3G since the file size would be too big for Amazon to justify paying the cost for connectivity.

Due to data rates and speeds, I think it will be limited to wifi.

Probably related more to file size... the update file is 200+ MB

So based on that, would you rather that the Verne works use 20 dots and all 1000 page books to use a single dot? What about 500-page books?

No, but at least the scale should adjust on the longest book in the collection with an upper limit higher than 800 pages.

But then every time you add a new book onto your kindle the scale would have to be adjusted to determine the longest book and all other dots recalculated. Seems like a waste to me just to give an indication of which book is really the longest.

I see the dots in cover view. They are on the bottom right of the cover. They are had to see but they are there.
