Not to mention the fact that the 2.5 update is about 13megs which Amazon has to pay AT&T or Sprint (do they still do the Kindle US?) to send out the update to every Kindle. The reason why the updates are staggered in waves is so that whispernet doesn't get bogged down by all the data transferring at one time.
Doesn't make sense to me. Either way, if we get a copy of the 2.5 .bin files then it'll take a load off of Amazon both financially and bandwidth-wise.
