The only reason is that MP3 jailbreaks won't work any more.

I have a very critical question:
Is it somehow possible to have a firmware and do some hacking and customizations and then when a newer firmware is up for grabs, apply it too? I know for upgrading to a new firmware, one should reset to factory setting but is there a work around? This seems to be critical for everyone obviously, at least I don't want to redo all my hacks again and again for each upgrade!!!

If it's not possible, I want to have a firm, let's say "good" firmware, on top of which I do the hacks and let the kindle untouched for years and just read. But with the landscape fault found in firmware 5.0.3, my current Touch seems not to be the good foundation to make my changes... I'm curious what you guys do, as I'm sure this is a very obvious question you decide upon.

Looks like the updated firmware broke the hack. The hack needs fixing.

Anyone else had this problem?
I had exacly the same experience. No dictionary was present in the settings. After an restart the it was fixed.

Now I have a different problem after the update; there is no partial refresh anymore when turning a page, screen goes black everytime I turn a page. I have tried restarts and turning on and off the refresh setting, but no effect. Any suggestion how to solve this?

After a while I thought of trying to reinstall the update. I transfered the file, ejected and disconnect the USB chord. Then I just wanted to check if the problem still was there before applying the update, but then the pageturns appears to be normal again. Strange.

So far no problem for me, page turning is so much more responsive than before, pretty much instantaneous. It's also kind of strange that I didn't know I had upgraded the device(maybe it was pushed?). Only noticed the sudden speediness during page turning, so I checked the firmware and it says 5.0.3...

Before upgrading I was jailbroken and had installed the wallpaper hack. To my surprise after upgrading to 5.0.3 the wallpaper hack is still working and I have my custom wallpapers. I haven't encountered any problems.

mine went self-upgrade - I caught it in the middle of upgrading process
all that was done without even asking for my permission..
