I've been leaving mine on for a week already. Since some people were getting updates last week, I thought better be safe than sorry:)

Not until the new screensaver and font hack updates are rolled out. I tried leaving WN on for a time last week and made it a whopping 3 hours before the dead authors and faint text did me in.  |

I'm not as about the update now that I know that collections can my synched across Kindles. Until I know for sure how that's going to work, the hacks stay on and I won't update. I have several Kindles on my account and I'd rather not have my mom and daughter moving books from one collection to another on their Kindles and it affect mine (I don't know IF that's going to happen for sure, but I want to make sure it doesn't before I update)

I have had my wireless on constantly ever since I first heard about version 2.5, on April 28th. So, that is 12 days. There are 21 more days left in May. We'll get there.
Since I don't have any hacks installed yet, that is not an issue for me. I just recharge the battery more frequently (and check my version number many times each day).

I'm keeping the Whispernet on until I get it. I don't have any hacks on so I'm hoping I get it soon. I can't wait.

Mine has also been on since I first read about the 2.5 update. I keep waiting and hoping (and obsessively checking my Kindle to see if it's updated yet!).

I just took my font hacks off on Saturday; I'd been leaving Whispernet on all the time, but now I think I'll just do so at night, because of how quickly it uses up the battery.

I leave Whispernet on overnight when I hear people have just gotten the update, and I turn it on when my Kindle is charging.

Vlad is back, and this time he's hungry. I mean, really hungry. I could explain the plot of this one, but I think I'm going to eat, instead. Steven Brust's synopsis of Druz.

Took the hacks off as soon as I heard about the update. WN is on 24/7. Check my settings obsessively. No way is May 10th late May but since some have it, I keep hoping. Almost worse than Kindlewatch!
Since I NEVER win anything, I expect to be among the last to receive the update (sigh),

I turn my wireless on once at night for an hour or so. I check Kindle forums to see if anyone has received 2.5 today. I haven't found that anyone got it during the last 3 days. Since I haven't received an update since 2.3 (which I installed manually), I wonder if I'll receive 2.5 by wireless.

I had WN on all the time last week, but I got tired of seeing the battery indicator go down so fast. And then the whole thing just started seeming silly. So I started checking once a day for the update. Obviously, I'm not as anxious to get this update as many are. If a lot of people start posting that they got it, then I may turn the WN back on all the time.

I have the font hack on my k2i, in an attempt to keep the download off it, and I took the font hack off the DX. I'm thinking I'll let the dx update, or do it manually, see if I like the 2.5 and then deal with the k2i from there.

I've always left my Whispernet on from the day I received my Kindle in January. I charge it daily, though.  I check it constantly to see if I've gotten the update, but no such luck just yet. |

Interesting. I didn't even realize you could shut off whispernet. Not that I have any reason to. My K2 is out of its charger for only about 9 hours per day.

I turn on WN daily and check for an update. No luck yet  . Am anxious to get it, and am not a patient person  . Between waiting for this update, checking for this update, and waiting for the Guardian case to come out, I think the Kindle gods are trying to drive me buggy.  |

Not really anxious here.
I really like reading with the font hack and do not want to sacrifice my reading time waiting for the update. I figure i could get another book or two in before the end of the month and hopefully they will have the manual update ready by then. And i still may wait until the hacking gods give the gift of font hacks for the new version. I may be in the minority here but i really like the comicsans font to read with.

I'm pretty bummed. I have a bunch of PDFs that I need to read for class but fear I won't get the update until it's posted online.
I have a DXi and a USK2 and despite having full wireless signal and no problem shopping in the online store, I have never gotten any update on either of them over Whispernet. I have left the wireless on for a week now and still no go. So I'm sad.

I am hoping they will post it soon on amazon. I have been leaving my wireless connection on and I don't like the battery life when I do that. With it off I can read quite a bit between charges. Leaving it on waiting for the update to happen has been draining my battery pretty regularly.
