Did you have a font hack previously installed? Those look like the leftover hack files. You can delete all of them.

They don't look like new files. They're all dated 11/2009.

I have no Hacks on my Kindle,No Font or screensaver hacks. I think the fonts are new. Can you tell the difference in the pictures? I especially noticed on the Menu.

I'm still waiting to uninstall my font and screensaver hacks until we can get manually update with file on the Amazon website. I have far too much reading to do to take them off. As stated earlier, it will be here when it's here.

It appears you added the font hack back in November (Not sure if you removed it the same day), but those files appear to be left over from adding/deleting the hacks I downloaded the "Georgia" Hack, I'll give it a try.

I remember that. I'm not sure if I tried it and took it off or if I didn't install it at all. I also had the screensaver Hack but deleted it to do an upgrade and never put it back. It just seemed like to much of a Hassle. I never said I had never installed Hacks in the past, I stated that I had no Hacks installed now when it appears I'm receiving the upgrade.

The thing is, all those files are leftover from installing/deleting the hacks. They're not from the update (and they're dated the same time you did the hack). Even if you uninstalled the hack, those files would still be there until you deleted them.
The update will be a single .bin file and there are no new fonts, just 2 additional font sizes.

Yes JP, you can safely delete any files that aren't in folders.

Sorry to rain on your excitement. Really. But yes, you can safely delete them. They're all leftover files. |

Big Sigh..  . Thanks Jason and luvmy4brats, I've deleted all the files. But I could SWEAR I could see a difference, I guess it's just my old, wishful thinking eyes. I'll delete my first post and save some face.  . Thanks again... jp |

My Kindle just restarted and now I have 2.5.2! I'm so excited, I feel like I've been waiting FOREVER. Is this the "revised" 2.5 or the first one? lol

Oh! That's exciting. The .2 to me means that they did do some tweaking as they promised 'cause before I'm pretty sure it was just 2.5. Woo Hoo! |

2.5.2 is definitely a later version. I got the update on my K2 in the middle of May and it's only 2.5. If I get 2.5.2 on my DX it'll be interesting to try and see what they've tweaked. This is exciting! I thought we'd have to wait longer than this for them to start rolling it out again. |

I just received the 2.5.2 upgrade. It took about 5 minutes to load and I have already started making my collections. Since it is the 2nd version after the 2.5, that means they have been working out the problems which explains the delay. I have a feeling that by tomorrow almost everyone will have the update.

Well, that might be optimistic! But the fact that people are starting to get it is definitely promising! |

I just turned my WN back on. Hopefully I'll receive the update.
If 2.5.2 is the final version that is going public, they might put it up for manual download soon.

I have seen some discussion of this question, but not a definite answer. Can a kindle v. 2.3 update directly to 2.5? Also, if so, is the 2.5 update inclusive of 2.3.3?
Thanks
EDIT: IF need be, please move this to the official 2.5 discussion. I did not want to clutter it with a discussion of manual updates.
