The Moon in Deep Winter

Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

Thanks to your font hack instructions I was able to install the hack but I'm not sure I have uninstalled it. My Kindle said the install was successful but the font looks the same, Helvetica.

I downloaded "update_k2_fonts_uninstall.bin" then dragged it to the Kindle root directory and followed the instructions -- Safely removed my Kindle from my USB - Home-Menu-Settings-Menu-Update-Pressed 5-way for OK and waited for it to go through the motions. 

I now have 4 folders - Audible, Documents, Music, System
Files - font.properties.new
         font.properties.original
         font.properties.prerestored
         font. properties.restored
         netfront.ini.new
         netfront.ini.original
         netfront.ini.prestored
         netfront.ini.restored

Thank you for any ideas.

If you go to the Home screen and then select Menu -> Settings, at the bottom of the screen you should see the version number. If it just says something like "version 2.3.3 (12341234)" with nothing else following it, then you have no hacks installed. If there is a hack installed, then after the closing parenthesis there will be more stuff consisting of a few cryptic letters and then a version number. (I don't have anything installed at the moment to be able to check the exact nomenclature.)

Leave the folders alone, but you can delete all of those leftover files (font.properties and netfront.ini). It won't hurt anything. =)

When you did the uninstall did you use the correct k2 (or k2i) uninstall file? They aren't interchangeable.

She wouldn't have been able to select the "Update my Kindle" option if she had the wrong file. The update was successful, the files that were left behind are normal and can be removed, but don't hurt anything if you leave them there.

I have Version: Kindle 2.3 (399380047). Maybe I missed a previous update? Anyway, it looks like I was successful. I just don't remember the font looking this nice before the hack.

Thank you, NogDog, Jason, and LauraB. I really appreciate it.
