There is a new thread on Kindle Forum: 2.5 bugs are worked out and update is rolling out!!!!
ebook addict says:
I just got off the phone with a very nice young man from Kindle Tech support and he told me the bugs have been worked out of the 2.5 update and they are beginning the new roll out now! Here are the specs he gave me:
The update is rolling out over the course of this month by geographical region. No download link as of yet.
The download is large and takes a while but will download all in one file and not over the coarse of several days as previously posted. At least according to what he knows.
It will update when whispernet is on and has been in extended sleep mode but they are attempting to push out overnight due to the size.
Clicking on "sync and check for items" will not check for updates, only your kindle content like books, blogs, etc. so don't bother wasting your time on this.
Tech support has not been told any order of regions, but someone please post if you get the update after or slightly before this post and tell us what part of the country you are in. I am sure we will begin to see a trend.
This is what I was told guys so I am gonna cross my fingers and turn my whispernet back on at night and see what happens. Shouldn't take long to see others start posting that they got the download. He said that they updated the message but I forgot to ask for the link and I never could find it without clicking on a link someone posted before.
