Well, i already had my touch in spanish with Locale Hack... Landscape mode isn't something i have ever tried, but there is a hack for that too...

I would love to be able of organizing collections in several levels (I mean collections within collections); that would be great!!!

Saludos Miguel Angel!!!

Well, i think that upgrade is more difficult. No one of Kindle have that organization... It's a weak point of Kindle against others ebooks.

Can anyone confirm the legitimacy of this? I also e-mailed amazon and just got default response

According to the Kindle Touch page on european amazon shops, KT will have landscape mode and language selection!

Quote:
Rotate Between Portrait and Landscape Mode
Switch between portrait and landscape orientation to read maps, graphs and tables more easily.

Apparently I'm not terribly persuasive .... Anyway, I come to chat with an Amazon agent that literally said:
"Is going to launch a software update to Kindle Touch, changing the language and other functions, but i do not have a specific date and time, and i'm only can confirm that will be available."
