The last 2 purchases I've made I've specifically noticed this. I normally keep wireless off to prolong battery life. I usually browse the Amazon site on my PC and order and use the "Send to Kindle" option. So then, when I "wake" my Kindle, I turn on Whispernet and wait for it to show "bars" and then tell it to "sync" and download. Sometimes I see it pop up the little "wireless connecting" box and sometimes I don't. But, nothing will show up, so I'll tell it to sync a couple of times. Nothing "new" shows on my home page, so then I turn it off and back on and before the wireless even connects again, my new item/s shows. It's a bit annoying. Anything I should be doing different?
