Saw this in the Amazons discussion page. I am still at the 1.08 version. As always, I"m copying and pasting.

My Kindle just updated with version 1.2 yesterday, but sounds like not a whole lot of people have received the update yet. Found absolutely NO information on it -- even Amazon still shows version 1.0.8 as being the latest version.

Only things I've noticed so far:
- NowNow is nownow gone from the Experimental area. Only "Basic Web" and "Play music" remain.
- "Check for New Content" is now "Sync & Check for Items"
- New option on a book's menu -- "Sync to Furthest Page Read"

The Syncing features are intriguing. What does it mean exactly?

I opened up one of my books and checked the "Sync to Furthest Page Read" and got the following message:

"You are currently at location 257. The furthest location read is 1 from "Timothy's Kindle" at 10:43 AM EST on October 09, 2008. Go to that location?"

I'm guessing this means that you may need to sync often in order for the numbering to not be so screwy.

Has anybody else received this update at all? Any information of other new features that I'm missing?
