Well, I manually installed 2.3.3 some time ago, and I am still waiting. Luckily, my blackberry charger works on my kindle, so I charge it every day in the office (after charging my blackberry, of course)

I think what Amazon are doing with this update is totally lousy customer service. I posted this a couple of weeks ago and got some good but also some nasty replies (in the Amazon forum) I am wondering now if those nasty ones just might have changed their minds.

Getting a little ahead of yourself there. I think a drink may be in order.

Opps!

Maybe a little drink was in order earlier!

Save that first post for 30 days and it should be OK. In the meantime, drink up, everyone!

I'm quite happy waiting, since it's still the end of May here.

I've always been ahead of the curve! The timezone I'm in is Eastern Standard Timewarp.

The update hasn't reached my neck of the woods yet, but Amazon did say that the broad release would be in late May, so there's still plenty of time left (except, of course, in my Fantasyland, where it's June already!).

the only slight frustration I have with 2.5 is the folder option doesn't seem to work for the calibre material.

So I put pretty much all the books in folders...so anything outside of it is calibre...so I get maybe everything crammed to 1 1/2 screens.

I have the update on one Kindle and not on the other (belonging to my wife). Got "my" update over a week ago.

The collections/folders feature is nice. Took me a while to compile 'em but it's easy to setup and add/delete to and from.

I did notice that adding a book from Calibre or deleting a book from the Kindle seems to take longer but not inordinately so.

(Sorry I have no access to the bin or I'd have installed it on my wife's Kindle.)

My experience too. I have about 400 books on mine and it takes about 30 seconds after downloading a book or sample for it to show up; deletions take about the same.

Note: It tooks about 2 minutes per book before I removed all of the directories in 'documents' that Calibre created, so I have reconfigured Calibre to send books directly to 'documents' and not create author directories. Evidently, the new firmware is not very efficient in navigating directory trees.

I've got 300+ on mine so our experience is probably similar.

I created 17 folders for various genres or lists but whatever I bring over from Calibre just goes on to page 2 (outside of any of my new folders) and awaits assignation.

30 seconds seems about right. Maybe a little less. Was quicker in the past (for sure).
