I'm doing it right now... I'm in Mexico on vacation in Mazatlan and I'm actually connecting via dial up. (I think my computer is insulted, took me awhile to convince her I really wanted to use the phone modem on the back..) I cant wait.. Finally.. I can organize my 322 books on my Kindle!!!

Roy,
But will you be able to use the "Collections" feature without Whispernet access? My impression is that it relies on a connection to the Amazon server. |

The collections are awesome! I'm still sorting.... It doesn't need whispernet turned on to create and sort them... I think the font is sharper and clearer too... excellent upgrade... Now I gotta go to the pool.... My wife is bugging me....

Two points:
First: it seems to m that the Amazon link is for the 2.5 update NOT 2.5.2. Second: you don't need the Whispernet service to Create Collections. You just need a registered DX. |

I stand corrected! :-) Though the Amazon page presents it as a 2.5 update, the bin file actually downloads as 2.5.2.

I hope it doesn't take as long to actually load itself over the 2.3.3 version. Derek |

I can see the "create new collection" item in home>menu, but it is grayed out. Bummer. |
