Thanks for your help. You guys (knc1, eschwartz, ixtab, nijluje, and more) and the mobileread community have been awesome. Its amazing what a pain Amazon has made it to just to sort collections like I used to on my Kindle 3. Kindles have gotten better screens and lighting and worse end-user functionality with every release.

Cheers!
The 3x devices you did this to must have been the original PW-2 (2Gbyte) devices.
Since 5.4.0 will not run on the newer PW-2 (4Gbyte) devices.

If you replaced the entire image with an image of 5.4.0 -
And this 'free time' thing did not exist before 5.4.2 -
Then how could it still be on the device?

Is it not part of the Amazon image?
Is it an after-market add-in that you added?
