It really drains my battery but my house doesn't get very good Sprint signal. I have to charge my Sprint phone pretty much daily, too. I don't have any periodicals to be delivered so I pretty much only turn on the wireless when I'm getting books or doing a wiki search. I charge a couple times a week but the battery usually isn't very low when I do.

Besides Audible aBook support, what else does 1.0.4 bring to the Kindle?

Didn't do anything for me but reset the Kindle. Still on 1.0. I reset it and put it to sleep with wireless on. It just stayed asleep. Does it normally start right away?

I wonder if Amazon has anything in place to test your battery level before starting an update. Surely it would not be good to run out of juice in the middle of an update. Bob P.S. I should mention that it is easy to determine when the update arrives as you will see a new Kindle Users Guide in your book list. Last edited by bwit; 02-28-2008 at 04:46 PM. |

I turned on the wireless and then went into the menu, selected UPDATE, the download/upgrade started immediately.

Well, I'm sure there were changes but with the obfuscation it's kinda hard to do the code comparison...

Ok, this may be just my Kinde, but the update to 1.0.4 increased the functionality of the default dictionary. Before the update, when I would look up a word, I could view the definition of the word, but couldn't go to the next page of the dictionary. Sometimes the definition of the word would be more than one page. And I couldn't do much about it.
Now when I look up a word, I can go the next page, and the next page, even on to different entries from with-in the little dictionary window pop-up. Couldn't do that before. So have I made any sense here? Sorry, it's early! |
