Of course we can and we most certainly will, but it is a bit like waiting for a greatpresent-on the one hand waiting is kind of fun on the other hand when it is nearly there the wait seems endless;)
From what I heard an update for the K1 is also on the way, but you don't even have a schedule yet-so waiting must be even more difficult.
I really hope that you will get an update, too.

I'd be very leery about using a "grabbed" bin file anyway. . . .who knows where it's been!  |

Surely amazon must be storing this on a server somewhere? That might be easier to find. Anybody tried e-mailing amazon to ask if they can get the update |

Kindle 2.5 update was sent to limited customers only. We will send the update to the other customers soon and we do not have exact date when this may happen.
Customer feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the service we provide, and we're glad you took time to write to us. I've sent your comments to the Kindle team.
Thanks for your interest in Amazon Kindle.So basically, the answer was no! |

Geesh, this is like a suspense novel. As I read, I went through highs and lows....
Gasp! She is going to get the bin and have it sent. OMG! I can't wait!
Gasp! She sent it to some guy in Italy. OMG! I can't wait!
Crap! It's 2am in Italy. Sob.
Gasp! She sent it to luvmy4brats! OMG! I can't wait!
Gasp! Luvmy4brats wrote something.......could it be?!? DENIED! Can't get it to work. Sob.
Gasp! There's more posts....maybe...maybe....
DENIED! Sob.
This is like being a kid waiting for Christmas. You know you got a great gift but you aren't allowed to touch it yet. I was never good at waiting then, I'm still not good at it now. GAAAH!
LOL!! So true!!! There's no way I'd even try this manual update thing even if someone DOES figure it out because I am so technically impaired I am lucky I know how to turn on the thing, period. But I am loving this thread and following it closesly. It is like a soap opera LOL! |

Does anyone still have the 2.3.3 update file? It's not on Amazon anymore, and I guess I'll need it to get to 2.5

You can also sync with Amazon. My 2.3.3 update came a couple of days ago after I undid my hacks trying to get 2.5. I was at 2.0.3 before it updated. |

"Authors get the most publicity at launch and need to strike while the iron is hot. If readers can't get their preferred format at that moment, they may buy a different book or just not buy a book at all." - An Amazon spokesman.
It doesnt matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people dont read anymore. 40% percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people dont read anymore. - S. Jobs

I have 2.3 with a bunch of numbers in parenthesis. I left wireless on all night last night but it's still at 2.3. I have a Global DX.
Also, the links to the updates that were posted a few posts up lead to blank pages.
EDITED TO ADD: I had to restart the Kindle a couple of times before Update went from gray to black. Odd.

The incremental upgrades should not be necessary to get the 2.5 upgrade.

What do you do with these?
If your Kindle is not at software 2.3.3, you can download the correct file for your Kindle type, and use it to upgrade your Kindle to version 2.3.3. To upgrade, you would drop the downloaded .bin file on your Kindle (transfer via USB), then on you Kindle you would click Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Update Your Kindle. |

My K2 never updated so I tried and the Upgrade page only talks about 2.5 so it doesn't even offer the other upgrades. I figured it wasn't worth trying too hard to find since most upgrades come with the previous upgrades bundled in.

This is the most common error. However, another common error is not putting the .bin file in the topmost folder. What system software version is your Kindle on now? |

I put it in the root directory but the Update was still grayed out. I restarted the Kindle and it was still gray-- which is weird--- so I double checked that I had the right update in the root. All looked fine. I restarted it again and the Update went to black so I updated and now have 2.3.3. I've had my Kindle sleeping for a few weeks now with wireless off and haven't woken it to use it so maybe it got a little peeved at me. Thanks! |

I think I'm fine with letting the beta testers find the bugs, and then get the patched (2.5.1?) version later this month.  |

Lots of people on Amazon are reporting they got the update today. Not me though.  It is obviously past beta testing but they said that a couple of days ago anyway. |
