I did update my device like it was said on the amazon.com (via PC).
Kindle DX updated fine but when I checked version it is still 2.1.

Should I try once again?

Edit:

I did. Now it says 2.1.1 ... strange

Ok, so I put once again firmware file on kindle and run update. This time it worked as it was intended.
The only difference I noticed is:
Quote:
Better cropping of PDF files: In landscape orientation, white margins of PDF documents are automatically cropped to maximize the amount of content shown on the screen.
But in my opinion "better" is worse
The font is too big! In fact it's not "maximize the amount of content" but showing LESS of the content (with bigger zoom).

Before update in most of my pdf files pages were nicely cut into two equal parts when in landscape mode. Now the "zoom" is so big that page is cut into 3 pieces. The last piece of the page usually has only few lines of text and the rest of the display is blank and unused!! It really makes reading experience (for me) worse.

Why they didn't make that feature in portrait mode instead? That would be useful!

Is there any way to go back to 2.1 or 2.1.1 firmware??

Edit:
I really starting to hate Kindle DX for that shitty cropping feature. Why?!!?!
