Kindle DX just auto-updated to version 2.3 via whispernet
Does anyone know what is new with version 2.3 of the Kindle DX operating system? My wife's Kindle 2 didn't have an update, so it seems limited to the DX. The screensaver pics include new author portraits. Other than that, I don't notice any change. (I was hopeful for "folders", but will have to keep waiting I guess.)

My DX hasn't updated yet. I know that they get all of them updated over a period of a week or so. Sure hope it fixes a few problems I have with frequent rebooting.

Is there any way to get updates (or change the date from 1970) without whispernet access?

I don't believe so. The time comes from the phone network signal.

Ah, just found this thread
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...t=49350&page=3 Seems like you can get the DX to connect to the internet through the USB cable.. this looks very promising (and extremely complicated...I'm going to need some help here) |

Google and ye shall find...
According to Amazon's Kindle website:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...80&#version2.3 Here's what's in Version 2.3 (According to the website, there is a Version 2.3 for the K2 as well -- follow the link if you want to read about those) Quote:
Overall, that sounds like an improvement to me -- particularly the last item which is critical if you want to use the Kindle as a music reader or knitting pattern reader. Last edited by purl4peace; 11-27-2009 at 08:27 PM. Reason: Added info regarding K2 V2.3 update |
