Just need to sell a couple of those a year to make a living.

Argh. The charging port on my kindle is loose or something, and will only charge/transfer things when I hold it juuuuuust so. Just went and checked--it's 14 months old. Hrmph, Amazon. Not impressed.

Check and see if there's a build of of dust or grit or other junk in the port, that can cause the cable to not seat quite correctly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Semi-related: I got the warranty on my latest earbuds at Radio Shack, hoping it would actually be worth it. And? TOTALLY WORTH IT. When they started crapping out, I just went in and they gave me a new set. No questions, no testing the equipment, just a new set.
A+ would buy again.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If it's not the grit that ND suggested, it sounds like a loose solder connection.
Is it a Kindle Fire? It seems to be mentioned as a common repair.
the repair vids don't seem too intimidating, so repair is possible.

Have any of you heard about this Apple ID issue? [link]

Nope, it's a plain not-even-paper white kindle. I tried blowing anything out of the port space, but may have to find a can of air and try again. Luckily it's fairly fully charged at the moment--I depend on the thing!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I choose "add to existing contact" for an email address within an email in OS X, what's the logic behind what contact it chooses? Because it's giving me a choice of five apparently unrelated contacts, none with any contact info similar to the one in questions (he's changing nothing but from hotmail to gmail, so if you were going to apply intelligence to it...).

Does anyone have a recommendation for an Android video viewer that supports mp4 and mkz and subtitle files. I'd go to VLC with open arms, but their Android app is not the same.

I was also disappointed with Android VLC. I found MX Player [link] to work for everything so far.
I have not tried Matroska video due to the age of my device.
