Amen to that.

I understood and appreciated your post Bookworm_Girl, thank you. The kindle should arrive pre-registered, and I can deal with a nag telling me that the book can't be sync'd. My mother nagged me for most of my life, the only reason she's stopped is because she's nearly 100 and I don't see her much. So I can deal with nags.

Oh, yeah. Replace mom with a Kindle sans Wi-Fi. You just went from nagging annoyance to nagging hell.
Are you insane?! Downgrade to 5.4.0, turn off Wifi forever and be done with it.... |

Of course, I returned mine because I was so mad about it all. If I still had it, I would definitely go to 5.4.0. |

Oh sheesh...I had an irate ebay buyer send me a message with all caps last week....I considered it a form of bullying! Thankfully I haven't heard from him since. (I was unable to send an item and immediately refunded his money. That sent him into a tirade).

I've had my Paperwhite since October. I had a Kindle Keyboard for three years, but I dropped it one to many times and the screen broke. I was torn between the Kindle 4, but chose the Paperwhite because of the light. I didn't think I would like the touch screen, but I have grown quite used to it. I like highlighting using the touch screen, and I like that footnotes appear in a pop-up. I thought I would miss the keyboard, but I find that I really don't. The on-screen keyboard is fine for those times when I do have to enter text. The only thing I miss is sound, I used to plug my Kindle into my car stereo and listen to audiobooks or books via text to speech. When my Kindle Keyboard broke, I picked up a Kindle Touch for my daughter. After I finish reading to her, I have the Kindle read to her via text to speech. It's the only way I get to escape!
