Yup, that's even part of the UI tweaks accessible from the Kindle Collections plugin, if you need a "blind monkey could do it" approach

I just installed the update on 3 Kindles. I still have no problem using the open browser via 3G. Seems OK.

I have a keyboard and a basic no touch. The basic was basically battery dead, the keyboard still had a screensaver, but it will not wake up at all. So both plugged in. It did take me a full 10 minutes to remember that the power button the keyboard is a slider and not a push button.
![]() Its really fun when I turn on my K1 once in a while. Where? What? how? ![]() Now I hope the keyboard comes back to life. Its not that I read on it anymore, I do use the basic at times, but so far none of my kindles have died. All the way back to the K1. I am just slightly attached to them for some odd reason. I did not get any email about needed updates. eta: signs of life. Keyboard is loading the boy under tree. So once they are both charged, I see if they need updating. eat2: my lard I miss the home button. What a pleasure that was. And my reading bar. Sobs. Last edited by Atunah; 09-28-2019 at 06:28 PM. |

I use my Kindle Keyboards to connect to the internet when I'm at my cottage without internet or TV. I get my newspaper delivered and I can check my email on them, something newer versions can't do. I've become a bit dependent on them. I have plural because friends have given me broken ones that I have been able to renovate with new screens or motherboards. And, of course, I read a lot of literature on them, in bed at night with prism glasses......https://www.amazon.com/vinmax-Specta...9711547&sr=8-4

My update letter just came today. Trying to figure out the safe place I put my 3 backup Keyboards. How could I lose 3 of them? Geeze.

On a PW3, that file gives same results as an AZW from Calibre, but on Keyboard by default it looks like "old mobi", but if you press Aa and select "Publisher" you get the fancy version (KF8?) and also the user created margin in reader.pref is gone for all books! Also one can set a negative margin in Calibre when creating dual mobi or AZW3 files. However I mostly read on the Kobo Aura H2O or the Sony PRS350, the PW3 is used for main purchases from Amazon.co.uk (via USB download) and the Keyboard model for US purchases. It's time Amazon properly sorted out a Marketplace for Ireland. Offering USA or click English on Amazon.de are not Brexit solutions. Also we are fed up in Ireland since 1922 being treated as UK region by international companies and English Language Book & Video publishers. We aren't even in the Commonwealth. |

Updated my ole kindle keyboard today. I knew my almost OCD compulsion of keeping it charged (although I hardly ever used it in the past couple of years) would one day pay off.

My K3 is currently on 3.4.2, I downloaded the 3.4.3 update from the provided link in this thread, copied the update file to the Kindle root, but the "Update Your Kindle" menu option in Settings is greyed out. Any ideas?

Make sure you've got the right one for your exact K3 variant.
If that still doesn't help, delete the .bin, reboot the device, and try again. Last edited by NiLuJe; 09-30-2019 at 05:35 PM. |

Thanks. Did that, but will try again. Interesting to note that all three K3 variants of the update file all have the exact same file name...

I just wanted to add that the 3.4.3 update is there. I updated 2 kindle keyboards, but it took me awhile to remember how to click to get it to update. So, everything is updated except the 3 K3s that are in that safe place I can't find. Annoying. I back them up every month so where the heck did they go?

Upgraded my Kindle Keyboard and five Basic no-touches (four are technically my kids' Kindles, but they do nothing with them). No problems with any of them. I would imagine three of the Kindle no-touches will be part of my (eventual) eReader dispersal. (The youngest son pretends to like his because he knows I like eReaders, but he never uses it.)
