Dsmid, I'm having challenges getting freedownload .3 to work at all so I'm probably misunderstanding how to install it and what it does.

1. I have a Kindle DX Graphite, so there is no WiFi, only 3G. Can I download PDFs via the Kindle browser over 3G with freedownload? If not, is there any way to download PDFs to my DX via the internal browser?

2. To install, I downloaded the freedownload 0.3 zip to my computer, unzipped it and copied the "update_freedownload_0.3_dxg_install.bin" to the root directory of my Kindle DX G over USB. On my Kindle, I went to the settings page via the menu button, hit the menu button a second time and chose "Update Your Kindle". The update was successful, but I still could not download PDFs. I tried doing a restart, but this didn't help.

Thanks, Mike
