It made me wonder if you ever got one, so I came and looked this up.
How's it going with yours? Are you still using it? Any tips for my kid?

Yes I did, Scott. Got one for Xmas 2009.
13 months with it and I love it. I use it daily.

Tips?
One comes to mind right off the bat. When searching for Kindle books from Amazon, skip using their search engine. www.jungle-search.com is so much better.
About a month ago, I downloaded the Kindle app for my laptop. I prefer using the Kindle itself but the laptop app can come in handy.
There is also an online forum (www.kindleboards.com) which I registered for but haven't really used.
I really haven't explored much beyond the books thru Amazon. I know there are other sources for books but I have found so much classic literature (free!) that along with a few purchases I have more to read than I know what to do with.
