re: gort's inquiry
No problem. I think the update process is not clear which is also why I asked. I've read that the upgrades have occurred automatically. I've also read regarding book downloads and periodical subscriptions, that these things are "whisked" to the kindle while you sleep. From what I can tell, nothing happens with my WIFI kindle while it is sleeping, never mind while I am sleeping.
I do not power it down. I just allow it to sleep or momentarily slide the power switch to sleep it. I have never noticed that anything new gets delivered to my kindle in this state. It has only been when I wake it to read, that the little downloading circular arrow spins and I see "downloading"
Maybe things do happen when it is asleep but I'm not sure what.
Obviously with wifi OFF nothing can occur.
My question was two parts: can I possibly ascertain the firmware upgrade is being "shipped" and quickly delete it (rename it?)? And will Amazon keep trying to force-feed it to my k3?
There do seem to be some tools in the Developer's forum to prevent the upgrades. No idea if/how they work and whether Amazon might do something to an account that blocks firmware upgrades. I guess they could consider that a violation of the terms of service.
What is interesting is how quickly 3.1 has been released from beta to being sent to k3's.
3.0.2 was never sent (I did that one myself) and 3.0.3 was also not released although available for a while. 3.1 has not been in beta that long but is OUT and being shipped. They must feel very confident.
