Hi Guys,

i just joined the wonderful world of Kindles about a month ago, and what a month it's been

i've been testing out the amazon conversions (pdf to azw), calibre (pdf to mobi), and generally having fun.

i bought me and my wife each the Kindle 3G (latest Generation), and convinced my parents to buy one as well. initially, my thought was that the bigger screen on the DX will help them in their old(er) age.

just got the DX today and... i'm not sure about this. it's much heavier (which, following the laws of physics, DOES make sense - make the screen bigger, it'll weigh more), BUT, what i didn't expect is a browser that's inferior to the K3. and that's a big selling point for me when i "sold" the idea of the DX to my mom..

so, long story short(er), is there a way to update the browser on the DX? also, how do i find out which OS version i have?

thanks for reading!
