thank you for your post reply regarding the fix. That helped me. Additionally, I know you were looking for help in the beginning with your post. Regardless of what followed, if the initial people offering suggestions had read your original post and understood it, they would have understood you did have connection to the internet via WiFi to download the original / trial books you discussed and / or had problems with!
Once again, thank you for posting your fix. It helped me with my Kindle issue similar to yours.
