If you accidentally updated you can always locate and old version and downgrade.

Here is someone who didn't know what was going on and my being so obvious helped.

And by their own admission, didn't need to know. Or did you miss the "doesn't affect me" part?

That is all.

Thanks for letting us know. The Kindle App for the iPhone has an update also. I did not update. Will wait to see if anything is 'broken' on it.

but they did not know that they "didn't need to know" until someone informed them. All they knew is there is some mysterious problem with the new version that no one will comment on. They might of been hesitant to upgrade not knowing what the problem with the new version was. Now they know and if the problem does not effect them they can confidently go ahead with the upgrade..

That's an interesting argument Ron, but I will have to go with double D on this one I'm afraid, but kudos to you for your link to the archived copies of K4PC - busy downloading 1.41 - for back-up purposes.

I'll have to agree with Ron. I had the feeling something would be broken, since I don't do... "evil deeds" with my Kindle content and therefore do not pay attention to these things.

I think we can all agree that this thread is already running in circles and going nowhere.

sadievan · 04-24-2011, 10:19 AM

Does anyone know if the kindle app update for the iPhone does anything to upset the process. I have not updated yet. Am waiting to hear if anyone has any problems.

Let's put this puppy to rest, shall we? If there were "legitimate" concerns with 1.5.0 that affected everyone across the board, they would have been discussed openly; with no "nudge, nudge--wink, wink." The fact that they weren't was a dead giveaway that it only pertained to those who would--and judging by the responses in the thread did--"get it". The only problem came when those who were unaffected let their curiosity get the best of them. In the future, keep in mind that; "If you have to ask, it obviously doesn't affect you."

But next time, I'll just avoid posting a super-secret thread altogether. That way, no one will have to interpret, wonder, deduce or otherwise be inconvenienced by asking them to flex their powers of reasoning.

I apologize for finding an obviously successful way to spread the word without breaking (or even flirting with the idea of breaking) forum rules.

Those of us to whom your "warning" was addressed "got it", and, speaking as a proxy for those many, I thank you!

Oh yes. Everyone who joins this forum from now on will know that FOR SURE. Welcome to the clique. Next time: The secret handshake.

Some moderator please close this sad excuse for a thread already.

Edit: An ignore list. Now that'll take care of that. Edit 2: Hmmm OK, not that great a feature.

Discussing illegal activities in a public forum is never a good idea, but Mobileread has actually had legal warnings about this in the past so its stance about it is understandable enough.

abookreader · 04-24-2011, 12:11 PM

oh for goodness sake! Ignore lists are always much more fun when you actually inform people that you're ignoring them first, right?

I still have the Amazon for PC beta version. I just keep it around as a back-up method in case my other back-up methods fail.
