So nice of the Air Force to schedule my son's leave from Germany just in time to get his 2.5 update!  |

I'm obsessing over the update, and today I'm noticing that my WN bars have been 'active' all morning so my level of obsessiveness has been kicked up a notch. Usually the WN bars go on and off, so I'm hoping I'm in the next batch of updatees
...heavy sigh....

When I turn on WN, my bars will turn black (active), then after a time all of them will be clear.Also, when I wake it up, they'll be inactive for a few seconds. This morning, they've been active. I'm going to check my update (or no -update) status later this afternoon--with much anticipation and a healthy dose of impatience.

I agree. At least with Kindle Watch you could track your package.  |

I haven't heard of anyone else getting it since last Wednesday (?), I believe it was Wednesday. Nobody else has posted that they've gotten anything. I watch the Amazon Kindle boards for news like that.
It's now May 16 and I'm still leaving my Whispernet on all the time, but my excitement was died off quite a bit. At first I was checking a few times every day but now I just do it about once a day. I'm reading a couple of library books on my Sony so I'm not reading my Kindle right now.

I wish Amazon would place the option for manual download.

I was pretty relaxed about the update when it was announced, but I'm beginning to get really impatient now that I've had time to think up my collections.  |

I think I understand why Amazon is waiting to put up the Manual download, and I honestly can't blame them.
It appears there's a bin for each version that's out there.
K2 2.3, 2.3.3, 2.3.4,
k2i 2.3, 2.3.3, 2.3.4
dx 2.3, 2.3.3, 2.3.4
dxi 2.3, 2.3.3, 2.3.4
From what I've seen here on the boards, I can tell you that if they put all those up, people WILL be downloading the wrong ones right and left. That's going to result in TONS of calls to CS because their Kindle won't update.
The number one problem I run across when helping people install/uninstall the hacks is people have downloaded the wrong file. Many people don't know that just because they live in the US, they might still have an international Kindle. They automatically assume they have a US version because they don't know it changed some time back.
Just my thoughts on the subject after some observation.

Heather, you are probably right. It is kinda fun waiting. It reminds of when the first K2 orders were coming. At least here we have someone to share our waiting time.

They could just make the manual download available from each user's "manage your kindle" page. They just need to set it up so that the file that is downloaded is the correct one for the user that is logged in. Their device type will be known from the device registration process / serial number, and the current fw revision could be learnt from the latest whispernet sync the user has made. Would make more sense to me than a single public page to download the files.

Nodog: I'm in agreement with you. At first, I, too, was caught up in all the excitement and was anxious to get the update. Kept uninstalling the ss hack, plugging in my Kindle, turning on the Whispernet, trying to find some sort of signal, waiting, looking, waiting, checking, waiting, synching, waiting, putting the hack back on before I went to bed to read, repeating the process again the next day... But when I think about it, it's not a pressing thing for me for almost exactly the same reasons you posted.
This is not to say I do not appreciate it or that I won't enjoy it because I do and I will. I just realized that for me it's not nearly as important as it is for others. So, I can wait. I'll probably have to wait for manual upload anyway since I hardly ever get a Whispernet signal out where I live that's worth anything.
Besides, Emily Dickinson scares me. What is the gawking at anyway?

Glad to see that Amazon aren't keeping the updates to U.S. only.
