Is there any reason for me to update to 3.1, if I'm not interested in all those Social features?

The lack thereof is why I bought a dedicated e-reader in the first place, so I'd rather wait for a "fewer-frills" Kindle or buy a different brand of reader if this is the road Amazon is taking.

Amazon doesn't say much about the technical details of this update, so I'm guessing there are no speed improvements and the like.

The only functionality I'd be looking for, is decent collection/folder management. I have a ton of documents on the Kindle -sorted neatly in different folders on the device- and I really dislike having to skip through 80 pages of index each time I've opened a document. (Since for some reason, the Kindle always returns to page one of the index).

Should I "up"grade?
