Same thing for me. I'm lucky to get 1 bar of the "Edge" network at home.
Personally, I think Amazon should post the update on their site as soon as it's available. I think expecting Kindle owners to leave Whispernet on all the time, recharging every 2 days (I read a lot, hence the Kindle), waiting for weeks to see when Amazon finally deigns to give them the update, is ludicrous. Post it on the site, don't force me to leave wireless on and then act like it's painless and you're doing me a favor.
If you REALLY want to make it fairly painless, how about EMAILING me when there's an update available for me over Whispernet--particularly if you're going to dole updates out to only a few at a time. I mean, my Kindle is registered to my account, along with my email address. If that's too much trouble, post it to the website first day.
I really love my Kindle, but their update process stinks.
