For now, my Voyage and Oasis are in Airplane mode. I don't like change. LOL
Yes, a pretty good walkthrough.

But I think he is wrong about the Web Browser being in any way improved. It is just a face lift. It’s not any more capable than before, and since web pages generally are becoming more demanding, it is less capable every day. I tried going to www.amazon.com and it just died (and rebooted the Kindle once). There’s really nothing to be done, other than to come out with new Kindle models with more computing resources.

BTW, I subscribed to Special Offers on one of my Kindles so I could see what it looks like, and there are no longer any ads shown in Library view, so it looks the same as non Special Offer Kindles. The only difference now is the ad on the Lock Screen, which has to be swiped each time you unlock the device, as it’s always been. (Of course I unsubscribed again after trying it out.)
