Hi there,

For my Kindle 2, I almost always have my wireless turned off. I saw today some news stories reporting that a 2.0.2 update was released last week on Thursday night (3/19):

So I turned my wireless on, thinking my K2 would update right away. That didn't happen...so, after a few minutes, I used the "Sync and check for new items" command...and no results...I'm still at 2.0.1.

I've seen a couple of threads from folks whose Kindles have updated.

What determines when a Kindle 2 will update? Is there a way I can "force" my Kindle to go get its update? Should I just wait till the Kindle does it on its own?
