Hi,
I successfully installed the latest version on my Kindle DXG(2.5.8), using my Kindle 3US(3.3) as the source. The install went exactly as described, 100% problem free. The ability to change contrast in PDFs is especially welcome. I can confirm the following side-effects:

Rapid battery drain (1-2 days) when 3G is enabled.
Long wake-up time (10-15s) when the DXG has been asleep for a while.
No active content.

The battery drain is not a big problem. The lack of active content is also not a big problem, I intend to try the fix suggested in this thread. The long wake-up time is a bit of a pain though. Does anyone have any ideas how to tackle this, apart from the method suggested in this thread, "switch off to blank screen"?
