I still haven't gotten the update. I think I'm just going to wait but I wonder what is taking so long...

Anyway, from what I've read I'm not hearing that this is the mega update I was expecting. Maybe people are just not talking about it but I was hoping for some actual multi-touch gestures to solve basic interface problems (i.e. two finger slide up to remove something from the carousel), easier access to volume controls, better personal doc/book management, and most importantly all the things we've been missing from the Reader app like page numbers, TTS, X-Ray, social sharing, etc. So far this update sounds like it adds the option to lock wifi for parental control and maybe a few bug fixes. No?

@willysjeepman: that sounds like a much better idea - don't have apps in the carousel, only media, or maybe some apps (like games) that could be tagged to appear in the carousel, and others that could be tagged (like mail and other commonly used apps) to never appear in the carousel. Send that idea to Jeff!
