I just received my new Kindle2 as a gift last week and wanted to download Savory so that I can read .epub, .lit, .html and .pdf files found from the internet. The problem is, everytime I go to Settings>Update you Kindle, I get the message "Your update was not successful. Kindle will restart now..." What am I doing wrong?

I don't have any books in my Kindle before I followed the instructions for Savory

My Kindle2 version is 2.3.3 (followed by many numbers); US based, not Int'l

I put the file "savory-image-007.ext3" in the system folder of my Kindle2

I put the file "update_Savory-0.07-k2.bin" in the root folder of my Kindle2 (where the documents, system, etc. folders are)

Once I disconnect the USB from my PC, and go to Kindle2 Settings>Update your Kindle, I get the above message.

I feel quite defeated after repeating this exercise many times over now. I almost want to return it. Can anyone please help me? TIA, I'd very much appreciate your help.
