Update to 2.3.4 Kindle 2 Global - anyone else?

[Pushka]

Any kindle bought after October 22 will be the international version. It all gets a litte confusing.

I'm not too worried if I get the 2.3.4 update or not at this point. If I hear of others getting the update on their US K2, then I'll go back to leaving on my whispernet & charging when not using.

I have a K2i and the screensaver hack. Mine's on 2.3.3 (manual update a few weeks back). I never leave my wireless on. So the question is... do I remove the screensaver hack and turn on wireless for a while and see what happens...? But what about the screensaver hack... can I put it on... will it work with 2.3.4...? Oh the worries LOL! Any advice please...?

My k2i started to update one morning when I turned the wireless on but gave the failed message because I have the hacks installed. I quickly uninstalled everything but it seems the moment of receiving the update has passed. I presume the hacks will work with 2.3.4 but perhaps the only people who have received it are the ones who haven't installed the hacks, so that is just a guess.

I had the font hack on and it tried to update like yours, I got the failure message, when I unintalled the hacks I restarted my kindle. Then I turned on wireless, did a check for new items. And then within 5 minutes got the update over whispernet. Then I put the font hack back on.

Can you tell me what the 2.3.4 update does?  Are the changes/improvements significant? I currently have 2.3.3 on my Kindle 2i.  Is it worth the trouble to uninstall-reinstall the screensaver hack?  Sorry if this question has already been answered.

I haven't "gone exploring" my kindle since the 2.3.4 got on it to see if there are any techno changes.  But, I don't notice any difference at all when I use. Can't tell anything has changed.

That's what makes this update so strange.  Normally software updates are accompanied by release notes, detailing every change made since the previous version.  With 2.3.4, Amazon hasn't released anything, not even a "release notes to follow" notice; their Customer Support staff aren't even aware of the update...it's a phantom update.  Very mysterious
