oh boy, ok, so it has the screen like "your kindle software is updateing" with a progress bar , and you hold down the switch to get it to reboot before it finishes the update?

I just tried installing one on mine, and honestly I could not figure out a way to stop it. I am tying one more thing.

The update goes in two phases.

The first part the progerss bar will move very slowly, very small steps, for about an inch.
This is the part that is processing and checking the update.

The second part, the progress bar will start moving more smoothly, fillingup the rest of the bar. This is the process where the update is actually being installed.

I rebooted in both phases, and had no luck clearing out the update.

The problem is that once that update file is registered on the system, the linux kernel on the kindle goes to do that work before starting up anything else.

Also once the update gets to that smooth phase, you will be half updated, and have corrupt files, until you let it finish all the way.


If it has gotten that far, I would recommend you let it finish now, but there are a few other people that check in this time of day, if you want a second opinion.
