I would love to read about what it does. Anyone using it, or just looking for it?

The file I sent to Nate should have been the DX US version that goes from 2.3.2 to 2.3.0.

Thanks to MobileRead, I have now turned on Whispernet and have reset and turned my Kindle off and on 15-20 times, looking for the update. I saw a screen shot over on the kindle forums - collections is just menu, add to collection. You can have something in multiple collections. Once I get the update (soon, please?) I will sit down with Calibre and add the books on my kindle to collections. So at least I can come up with my categories while I am waiting.

Well, I have 230 books on mine. I am going to write them all down on paper, then add the tags from Calibre. I am watching the final episode of last year's True Blood while I do it.

I'm editing the metadata of all my Amazon books, since I have a lot of series, and the stupid publishers can't decide whether or not to put the book number in the title and whether or not to put a comma in the authors' names...

I am hosting this file here:

I don't how long it will stay up... but here it is...

drop.io is a free service, giving you 100MB of free space. the only kicker is that you have remember your d/l name, which is a random string (ex. "d2f89a2kjk")

Can someone refresh my memory on the installation process? Does one just add the file to the root directory and then restart or are there other steps?

Thanks in advance.

Add the file to the root directory, eject the kindle, home, menu, settings, Update your Kindle.

If the Update Your Kindle option is greyed out and you can't select it then the file isn't the one you need in particular.

That's what I thought. It was grayed out on my wife's Kindle so I guess it's not the proper file after all.

Thanks for the quick assist.
