It will be interesting to see if Amazon has a method to pushing the update. Most of the books I have I've purchased from Amazon and I've posted to KB before. I also purchased a K1 and then got the DX when it came out. I literally read the post about the update - uninstalled the SS hack and turned on WN and I got the update. I think that's the first time I've gotten an update so fast.
It makes sense that Amazon would hold off on wide distribution until a selected sample of us have used it for a few days. If their testing has missed something, they can fold in some quick fixes before sending to the rest. That also explains why you can't get the update from amazon.com yet. I live in a 1X coverage area so it's probably just as well that they don't try to update mine, it will most likely fail over the time required to download, and might prevent me from downloading anything else. I had this problem once when I purchased an 80Mb book. Nevertheless, my wireless is on and ready...  Sounds like your Kindle purchase history might've bumped you to the top of the list. |

In preparation for 2.5, I'm having trouble uninstalling the fonts hack from my Kindle US using update_K2_fonts_uninstall.bin with a date of Feb. 143, 2010 on it. After restart, I receive message, "The update was not successful. Please record the error code shown below... (it's 0003). To resume using your Kindle, press the R key on your keyboard." Any ideas what I should do? I will also need to remove the screensavers hack.
Make sure you are choosing "Update Your Kindle" and not just doing a Restart after moving the uninstall file the Kindle. |

I got the same message, Len. Where does one choose Update Your Kindle vs. a restart? L |

I don't know about that, necessarily. I've bought 2 k1's, a k2, a k2i and a DX, and I don't have the update. Which I'm not complaining about, I'll wait my turn. But I'm not certain purchase history has anything to do with it. I also have 220 items archived purchased from Amazon, not counting the 150 I'm actually reading. I do wonder what their method is, but purchase history doesn't seem to be it. |

Leslie, from the Home page on my Kindle, I pressed Menu, then settings, then menu again. At that point both the "Restart" and the "Update Your Kindle" were active choices. When I chose Update Your Kindle it worked. Thanks! |

Give it some time. It hasn't even been officially released yet. It says it will be released late May. I'm sure somebody will have the file posted here long before that. |

Just wanted to add that having used Calibre and its tag feature is making creating my collections MUCH easier and quicker.

Well, I just turned on my WN and will leave it on for a while and see what happens.
Shammers, are there other fonts available, or just more sizes?
With all that has happened with KB and myself recently, I've neglected to congratulate you on reaching Ten Thousand Posts! Congratulations Ann and thanks for all you do!  |

If you go to home>menu>settings, you'll see which version you have at the bottom of the screen. right now I have 2.3.3 I wouldn't get too excited yet. Amazon says that it's rolling out for everybody in late May. They're just sending it out to a few users to start with. |

One drawback to the Collections feature - no sub-folders. You can't create a sub-Collection within another Collection. The ability to sort by author within a collection does help keep series together but sub-collections would have been nice.

How does the organization work in the collections? Does it order the books in the order you've read them?
Can you take some screencaps for us? I would love to see what the collections and stuff looks like!!

You can order by Most Recent, Title or Author within a collection. Sorry I don't know how to do screencaps... The other nice thing about Collections is that if you have a ton of books, once you put them into Collections and sort by Collections on the home page only the Collection titles show up on the home page. So you can drastically reduce the number of "pages" on your home page. |
