I'm going to jump on the bandwagon here with my concerns. Wireless is spotty in my area so I leave it off all the time. I've just manually updated my K2 with 2.5.2 and all the current content seems to work fine; problem is, I don't remember what still has DRM attached. I am curious about 2 things:

If I don't turn wireless on and check back with Amazon:

1. Will my current content that still has DRM work on my K2 with 2.5.2? Easy to test but I don't want to change anything until I finish my current book.

2. From what I am reading, any new content I purchase will be DRM'd with the old scheme (PID). Will this work with 2.5.2?

And once I turn wireless on, get a strong enough connection to check back with Amazon will I have to re-download all my books I couldn't DeDRM so they work with the new scheme?

Inquiring minds whant to know.
