I'm on 2.3, should I get 2.3.3 just to be on the safe side? Where's the file and instructions again?

I wish NORAD would have a Kindle tracker map just like the one they have for Santa on Christmas Eve. Ok, even though I'm 49, I still track Santa every year! |

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

There are probably different incremental versions out there (I have 2.3.2) and the program will likely be looking for a version with a high number. It won't make a difference what version you’re on as long as it’s less than the version in the stream. Since it’s a new version it will likely wipe out the old version anyway. However, if some sort of loader or script is needed from a certain version, they will push that also. Amazon can’t rely on people reading forums and doing a self-install to 2.3.3 so they either have to push 2.3.3, or more likely, it won’t make a difference what lower version we’re all on. Once 2.5.2 gets pushed to our region the update will go as planned. Well, it’s a theory anyway. BTW, waiting in CT.  Mike |

I'm going to sit here and watch all of you get your updates. I've decided (for now) I don't want it and am keeping my hacks on.

Picked up my Kindle as the update was downloaded. Threw me off for a second, as this was the first time I had my Kindle in my hands as it updated. Thought I did something wrong for a quick second.  edit: in Columbus, Ohio here. |

I have a depressing hypothesis. Perhaps the reason Amazon has not provided 2.5.2 for download from their webpage, is that 2.5.2 is no more final than 2.5 was a few weeks ago. Still waiting in New Orleans... |

Still waiting in New Orleans... Depressing is right. But you know, if we assume the worst, then we have the opportunity to be pleasantly surprised! |

I'm in NYC with no update so far. I have regular 2.3, that's all. I just tried a restart and saw no change after that. I'm giving it a full charge right now and will then leave it on overnight to see if anything magic happens!

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. I have a K2i and Mac and tried the above and the "update your kindle" is not available - still light grey. Any ideas |

If so, you'll have to uninstall it before doing any upgrade. Other than that, make sure you got the right upgrade file for your device. |

What version do you have currently? This is only to go to 2.3.3 This is NOT the 2.5.2 update. |
