Hi Folks.

My wife and I both have a Kindle 3W. We have a huge amount of ebooks so we don't really need to shop at Amazon e.a.

I am thinking, when I do want to use the browser and connect to the internet using wifi, what will happen? Will Amazon try to update my Kindle with new firmware?

Will that have consequences in any way? I just use it like it came, no jailbreaking or so. Our Kindles are using 3.0.1. at the moment.

Sorry for sounding both paranoid and ignorant but these thoughts do come up.

Thanks for your time,
Len.
