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. |

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.

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.
