You are right, sorry.
I believe amazon's development team is busy with new firmware for the next Kindle/or tablet, in my opinion no firmware will be released soon.

Glad to have helped. I did wonder if you already knew about it and actually wanted something else

Interesting. I didn't know that. Yup, I vote for that as a firmware update, too!

Not for me. I leave mine off too but sometimes I forget to turn it off after doing a synch update. I know some do want to leave it on for other reasons so they should know 3G model with WiFi drains faster then the WiFi only model.

I use to get close to a month but I am reading a book and half a day now on the K3 and might get two weeks but we are talking heavy reading here. If I read for only a few hours a day I do get close to a month.

I've never been able to get a month of use on it. I guess I use my kindle too much.

I'd like to see a feature added that auto-turns on wifi when you "close" a book by pressing Home, syncs, then turns wifi off again
