I received the update just a few minutes ago. I first went to Settings, clicked on the "Menu" again, selected "Restart". When the restart was finished, I clicked again on Menu/Settings/Menu - and the "Update Your Kindle" was active. Clicked on "Update Your Kindle" and the update immediately started. I'm not sure if what I did made any difference - but prior to these steps, the "Update Your Kindle" was greyed out. I now have the update.  |

I ordered a bunch of free books early this morning and while making the kids breakfast, I charged my girl with whispernet on and in sleep mode. I checked after about 5 mins and it had updated AND downloaded my new books! What a little multitasker!

I just got it too. I turned on Whispernet for only a few minutes this morning like I always do to get samples and blogs, then had a cup of coffee and read with it off. Then just to see I went into the settings to see if the upgrade line was still grayed out, it was not. So I clicked on it to get it. I wasn't sure if it needed whispernet on so I turned it on again just in case and clicked ok. It took barely a minute, restarted and that was it.

I tried this. Still nothing. Oh, well. Yes, with Whispernet on. I thought since I never turn my Kindle off, the restart may have made a difference. Maybe not...I guess it was just my turn to get the update. |

I have left Whispernet on for 2 nights now, nothing. I want my update. I don't know why, but as others have said, I am obsessing about it.

Mine updated while I was sleeping last night! It was the first thing I checked after waking up before even getting out of bed. Sadly, my text files still use the variable-width font. I'll look for other operational differences later.

I still don't get that that synch thing. No clue what it is suppose to do. I am currently reading a book and I am at around 3004. So I clicked on the synch to see what it would do and it shows like Harvey posted in the pics earlier about last farthest location, but it lists that location as 2300. huh? Thats not the farthest location read in the book, thats way behind that. It wasn't a bookmark either so I don't know what the point of that thing is.
I do really like that you can delete a sample or book now right from its page, no having to go to content manage to do that anymore.

I haven't been online lately and just popped in to answer a PM and saw this thread. I don't turn my WN on unless I have purchased books or showing someone how it works (been over a week since I did that).... anyway, I turned WN on and checked but Update was greyed out. I put it to sleep for less than a minute (too impatient) and Update was black! In the time it took me to get the kindle plugged into the charger (just in case) and type this message, my update is complete. I now have version 1.2 (299870016)... NowNow is GoneGone, I have Snyc & Check, and was able to delete a book from the Home Page. So far that is the only cool thing about this update I have found. I guess the zoom feature might be OK, but I don't see that I will be using it much.
Came back to update my post... After the update was complete, the default screensavers have returned. I am assuming this happened when the Kindle Update was complete and my Kindle did an automatic restart.

It does an automatic restart when it finishes the upgrade. I was looking at mine when it was updating.

Purchased: Oct 2008 Version: 1.1.1 Noticed Upgrade 1.2: 2/6/09 Kindles on Acct: 1 Location: Somewhere in the West I wasn't concerned about this upgrade so it could have happened earlier but curiosity got me last night so checked and there it was. 1.2 No Now Now. So I didn't see a restart, didn't have my Kindle sleep in Whispernet mode, it just happened. And I don't have Whispernet on that much. Maybe twice a week for 5 minutes or less. |

Morning everyone, I turned on my Kindle and it happened to go to sleep i tried to turned it on to find an update in progress. When the update was finished it was back to business. Can anyone tell me if this is the way we get all updates? It needs to go to sleep and be hooked up to wispernet before the new updatest start? Now how do i find out what the new updates are? Thanks

Question: Has anyone gone from 1.0.8 to 1.2? It seems to me like a lot of those with upgrades had 1.1...

Dang. I was hoping that would be the answer. I guess mine just hasn't updated because I bought it so recently. Unlike most people here, I got mine about a week before the Christmas/Oprah rush started. |

No, I got mine last April. I'm on Version 1.0.8 something or other, and no update |

I got mine in October and I upgraded. I really think that it is something random. It does not seem to be tied to area, age of Kindle, or existance of screen savers.

 Finally. I noticed that a lot of people seemed to have just downloaded samples, or newspapers or whatever when they got their upgrade. So I figured it wasn't enough to just have WN turned on. Somehow, Amazon needed to know that. I went shopping in the Kindle Store intending to get a few samples, but found something I wanted anyway, so I downloaded it. (Sorry, Harvey, but it was only 99 cents and it was for a good cause. As soon as I got the "1 item downloaded" message, I went to settings and the update line was black. I've never pressed a button so fast in my life. Little Gertie immediately started updating and I left her to it. The first thing I did was delete some samples. I like this feature. I assume that if I delete a book from my home page, it will automatically go back to Amazon. I was 1.0.8, purchased in August and live in South Florida. Does all this help anybody?
