downgrade to 2.5.8
Hi

I received a Kindle DXG which is running on FW3.3
It wont connect to 3G and thus neither to amazon, I suppose due to the altered FW...
thats why I was thinking about going back to the official 2.5.8. Is there a easy way to do that?

Better solution is to side load. Then you won't lose KF8.

If you have a smartphone, you can browse Kindle eBooks that way. But you won't be able to download without a computer. But if you have enough eBooks on your Kindle, is it really a problem to wait until you are at the computer?
