... and my heart has grown fonder. 

Mrs. Zero Newbury died in November - she who coined the GeekBook(tm) name.  I'm just now getting back to things like reading and such.

I wanted to get the 2.5 update, but had installed the font hack.  I knew I could find out here how to go about making the update work.

Is there a thread with reactions to the update?  Are people installing a new font hack over the update?

Welcome back, and I'm so sorry for your loss. 
There are several threads about the update in Tips, Tricks and Troubeshooting. 
I wasn't sure exactly which ones might be the best to link.  Someone else may have a better suggestion.

Sorry to hear about the Mrs. . . .but glad to see you back. . . .Go to any post by NogDog and click the link for his KindleMinds blog. . .that's probably going to be the fastest way to find the uninstall files you need. . . .but, as deb said, there are a number of threads in the Tips and Tricks forum. . . . . .

I always thought GeekBook is a GREAT Kindle name!

Aww, cheeezz, guys.  I wasn't looking for the sympathy stuff, but thanks a bunch.  I really enjoyed this forum during the hard times' like-minded literary gadget freaks with a passion - what's not to like?  So it's great to be back.

How do I edit the text that appears under the infamous pony? 

If anyone doesn't understand the pony's infamy, I'll repost the embiggenated version somewhere so that you can.)
