Maybe. Maybe not. We won't know for sure until someone who does not have the 2.3.3 update verifies that the 2.5 update succeeded or failed. If you want to upgrade manually to 2.3.3, You need to download the correct file for your Kindle (should take just a few seconds to download if you have a fast connection): Kindle (U.S. Wireless)Kindle (Global Wireless)Kindle DX (U.S. Wireless)Kindle DX (Global Wireless)When you have the file, plug your Kindle into your PC/Mac via the USB cable. Drag and drop the file you downloaded onto the Kindle (Drop it right onto the Kindle, do not put in any of the subfolders). Then eject your Kindle from your PC/Mac. Do the following on your Kindle: Click Home Click Menu Choose Settings Click Menu Choose Update Your Kindle It'll take a minute or so to update. I will merge this thread with another one about the update. |

OMG I can't stand the suspense! I took the screensaver hack off a month ago in anticipation of 2.5, and was heartbroken when it was announced that there would be a delay in widespread rollout. Now to hear that a new-and-improved 2.5.2 is slowly filtering out.... I can't wait to get mine!!

When I bookmark my K2i, entire page refreshed instead of only bookmark refresh. I thought my K2i did not work properly, so I decided to restart my K2i. After I go into the setting, I was surprised because my K2i was upgraded to 2.5.2.  Edit: I also check out my DX. It also upgraded to 2.5.2 Woohooo. Font is crispier than 2.3.3. |

I can't wait any longer. I leave for DC tomorrow and I'm tired of having the Dead Ones. I'm going to put my stuff back on and wait till I get home in a month.

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.
Woo-hoo!! I just turned my wireless back on and I am hoping....  |

Woooo! I finally got 2.5.2 on my DX to go with 2.5 on my K2. It's too late for me to play very much and look for the differences - nothing's very apparent immediately. One thing I'm very pleased about - when I imported the collections from my K2 to my DX, not only did it automatically put all my amazon books on the DX into the correct collection, as I expected, but it's also put all my other non-Amazon books/documents/pdf files into the correct collections too! That was one job I wasn't looking forwarding to having to do for a second time, but it's done it for me. Hopefully that means it will sync those docs too if you move them to different collections. And once Kindle for PC and the devices that run the Kindle app get collections too, it should all sync automatically. Brilliant!

The links all go to amazon.com, so I would imagine not a hack. |

They are the original Amazon links from the old 2.3.3 update page. I'm surprised they still work, but they do. In the event they stop working, I have downloaded each file if someone needs one.
If you roll your mouse over the link, the link address should appear at the bottom of your browser window.

Wow, finally some good news that people are getting the update! Now why can't Amazon just post the download already?

I have 2.5.2!!!!!! I got so excited when I read that people were getting the update, that I went home over lunch to get my Kindle and turn the whispernet on to check - no update...  Then I started reading this thread and got worried because I had 2.3 and had never gotten 2.3.3 (even though I had been assured by Kindle CS a month or so ago that the update would work and I would not need to download 2.3.3) and so I downloaded the 2.3.3 update file to my computer. I just spent 10 minutes trying to load 2.3.3 onto my Kindle, and even though I followed directions exactly, Update Your Kindle stayed shaded out. I started getting worried that I had not successfully uninstalled the screensaver hack (even though the old screensavers were back on.) I restarted my Kindle just in case that was the problem. When it came back on - Voila!!!! Right there on the Menu page - Create new Collection!!!!! So I never had to use the Update My Kindle command - all I had to do was restart. And since Whispernet was off when I was messing with trying to do 2.3.3 - I guess it must have already downloaded the update earlier... Edited to add - I guess its possible that the update had downloaded and wouldnt install until I put 2.3.3 on the kindle... - but I really think it was the restart that did it... |

Turned on my whispernet to download a couple of books I bought yesterday, let it go to sleep and when I came back, it was downloading. All done now, time to play later!

I remember a rumor somewhere that it was being rolled out regionally - could those who have just gotten the 2.5.2 please post their region? Thanks!
