The only time I connect the Kindle to a computer via USB is when I am transferring books to it.
The USB cable is interchangeable for Kindle 2 and 3 and the DX. The first Kindle has a different connection (slightly larger) on the cord end that connects to the Kindle. I have found it to be the same as several of my camera USB connectors, so they can do double duty in a pinch. Don't hesitate to go through your private stash of extra cables (I know you have one). You never know.
