Hi Everyone

Got the new Kindle 2 a couple weeks ago. Haven't had any problems to speak of until recently--whether it's a coincidence or not, it seems to have started around the time the Kindle downloaded a software upgrade for itself. As a result, my internet service, despite the presence of 3-5 out of 5 bars, sucks. The typical message is "There was an error when processing your request" and it occurs whenever I try to search something in google, use wikipedia, access manybooks.net, etc etc. I like having wikipedia available, even if the kindle internet browser is rather slow (I suspect Kindle 3 will include a much better, "real" browser...or I hope so).

I'm not saying it's never working, it's just very unreliable all of a sudden, like I'm dealing with a 3rd world country's idea of dialup internet.

The other message is "The website you requested is not responding. Please try again later."

I've NEVER had this problem with the amazon store, only the rest of the net....

Anyone got any advice or ideas? Location doesn't seem to make a difference.
