Kindle Update Released
The Kindle's first update was just announced. You can find out more here.
I forgot my Kindle today, so I won't be able to update it right now. |

I just updated my Kindle to the new update. For some reason I had to download the update to my computer and move it to the Kindle. Not sure why I couldn't get it wirelessly. Anyway...the update went smooth but I can't see anything new or different with the update.
If anyone discovers anything cool with the new update...let us know :-) Greg |

I had no problems with mine and it is working great. Been using it since I did the update.

Frak me! Well I am updating mine right now, so we'll see. It says not to stop during the update so too late now....

Hasn't started to support folders in the directory.
![]() It DOES appear to search within books for a search word now. Not sure if it did before or not --- somebody just today posted a message saying they wished it would, so I tried it earlier this morning, and it didn't. But perhaps this book hadn't been indexed yet. Anyway, it DOES find a word within books. Now, if not before. Nothing else new, that I can see immediately. |

Whew! Nothing bad happened. The update went fine. It's updated and shows the new version number, but I don't notice anything different either, so maybe it's a very minor update.
