I just turned whispernet on to download some samples I ordered last night and after I turned it off again, I noticed fingerprints on my screen. While I was wiping the prints off the screen, it flashed and notified me that the kindle was updating and would restart when it was finished.
Has anyone else been updated today? Does anyone else know what the update might be about - folders??? - or fonts???. I don't notice anything different.

It's showing 2.0.3. This is a K2 we're talking about.

2.0.3 has been out for quite a while -- do you know what it was before the update? Could yours just be really slow in updating?

Nope. I've had my kindle since the end of April, and I've had all the updates everyone has talked about - the new version and turning off text-to-speech. I've never noticed my kindle notifying me that it would update itself and then restart. I was hoping this was the updates that we've all been waiting for (folders and darker fonts), but, at a glance, I don't see any differences in my kindle. It's sounding like nobody else got updated recently. Hmmmmm.

Mine just updated today as well, it is now:
2.0.3 (327610024)
I know mine was already at 2.0.3 before, this might have been a minor update or maybe the build number incremeted?
Not sure, but I don't notice any difference.

How can you find out which version you have?

How can you find out which version you have?
Hi, Jim,
Select "Home," then select "Menu," then "Settings." At the very bottom left you'll see the version number.
If you want to check for any updates, select "Menu" again; if there are any updates, the "Update Your Kindle" option will be black (versus the usual light gray), and you can select this to manually update.
Hope this helps! |

Thanks, Susanjane. Sorry to be so ignorant, but I've only had the Kindle a few weeks. My version is 2.03, and the Update option is greyed out.

Mine updated yesterday, and I already had version 2.0.3, so I don't know what changed either. I haven't noticed anything different.

Do we need to undo the screensaver hack to get this update? |

I have just found one change from this update - the archives on my kindle now says 0 books.
a few minutes later...
I turned on whispernet and downloaded a sample, and with it came my archived items list. They're back!

I haven't noticed any changes at all. I'm guessing their just subtle changes.

I went to the Kindle update page to see if they had info on the version that is on my new Kindle, 2.0.4, but it isn't listed anywhere. I haven't noticed anything different on the Kindle. I wish they would give users more information on what the update is for.

The Kindle update page has 2.0.3 as the latest but the source code download page shows 2.0.4 as the latest. I guess they are waiting to post the update so they can do an orderly update via WN.

That's interesting. I was looking at this page yesterday and the 2.0.4 wasn't listed. They must have just put it up. They still don't give you what it does. We update our software all the time, but we publish information on what is exactly in the update. As long as I can read on my Kindle I'm happy.

WOW - at that size there could be folders and native pdf. Just hoping! Just checked - the source code is 138 MB - not the update. All previous versions of the source code are the same size. |

Now that the source code for update 2.0.4 (353720025) has been posted on the Amazon site, has there been an announcement (or evaluation) of what it does, or when it will be available as an update .bin file?

The text on the home screen and settings screen is much brighter and darker than I have seen. I'm wondering if they did something with the font to darken it.  |
