I just got a new US Kindle 3 (3G) but I'm not able to install the Feedbooks Guide.

I installed the guide directly using the Kindle browser from http://www.feedbooks.com/kindleguide, the Kindle says the file was downloaded correctly, however the guide shows up as ".............................." and when I try to access it, I get the following error message: "The selected item could not be opened. If you purchased this item from Amazon, delete the item and redownload it from Archived Items available in Home."

I then deleted the book from the Kindle and tried downloading the .mobi file directly through my PC browser and saved the file in the Kindle's "content" directly, but that gives me the same result.

I updated the Kindle's Firmware to 3.0.2 and retried the above but it still doesn't work.

Anyone ever experience this? I was able to install the Mobipocket Guide, and the Magic Catalog without any problems.
