I just stumbled across something that may explain, at least in part, what is included in the latest 3.3 update that some are receiving: Press Release: AmazonLocal Coming to Kindle with Special Offers. In this announcement, dated 15 Sept 2011, Amazon states:

The functionality for receiving AmazonLocal deals on Kindle with Special Offers will be delivered as part of a software update for latest generation Kindles in the coming weeks.

I'm not sure why some people with non-ad Kindles have received version 3.3 because only KSO models are mentioned in the rest of this press release. Perhaps they'll be giving all K3 owners the choice to opt-in sometime in the future? AmazonLocal is launching in New York City and will be expanding to more cities later this year.

A very easy upgrade for the browser would be for Amazon to include a newer version of WebKit.

The user agent of the browser in 3.1:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; en-US) AppleWebKit/528.5+ (KHTML, like Gecko, Safari/528.5+) Version/4.0 Kindle/3.0 (screen 600x800; rotate)

The WebKit version is in bold.

Based on the comments on here, this morning I tried to see if the browser would open new windows, and I couldn't get it to. I'm afraid I didn't spot anything else new in the browser either.

I guess we will find out more on Wednesday morning (Sept 28) when Amazon makes their announcement(s). I suspect FW 3.3 is related to whatever they will announce at their news conference. Hopefully we won't be disappointed.

Can you go to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ in the browser and post what the number after "AppleWebKit/" is?

I posted the User Agent for the 3.1 update above.

Just to emphasise, the bit I'm looking for is the bit in bold:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; en-US) AppleWebKit/528.5+ (KHTML, like Gecko, Safari/528.5+) Version/4.0 Kindle/3.0 (screen 600x800; rotate)

I knew it. More advertising. Why would I want that on my kindle? If you got a discount in exchange for advertising, that's fair, but I paid full price and don't think I should have to wade through ads.

They'll announce that those with 3.3 will each be given a brand new tablet

IF they're actually going to enable advertising on non-KSO devices, perhaps they would allow us to opt-in/out. That wouldn't be so bad. I don't think I'd want ads on my Kindle, but many people have said that they would like to be able to take advantage of the offers.
