USB Drive Mode

When I plug my Kindle with the USB in I get a screen saying USB Drive Mode If you want to read or shop on your Kindle while continuing to charge over USB, please keep the USB cable attached, but eject your Kindle from your computer.

If I eject nothing happens, I have tried hard and soft resrts and re-booting and everything as per the Amazon techie place.

Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas?

How are you ejecting your Kindle?
Method varies slightly whichever version of windows you are using (presuming Windows of course).

I do it by going to the 'computer' tab in my start menu, it shows the Kindle as a drive, right click on the Kindle Icon and eject.
I have Windows 7 and this method works for me.
It is a similar method for any windows computer.

Any other operating system (Linux, etc) I haven't a clue.

RE: USB Drive Mode

i have the same problem and I have never managed to solve it. I have Vista on my laptop.

I have no problem ejecting drives from the laptop, but the USB Drive Mode on my Kindle 3 does not stop.

If I want to charge it while reading I have to use the mains plug.
