Best Way to Delete Notices?

SteveEisenberg · 12-13-2010, 08:34 PM

Between Instapaper, and Calibre, and stuff I send to free.kindle.com directly, my 3G K3 gets dozens of notices every week regarding "Personal Document Charge Exceeded" and "Personal Document(s) waiting for WiFi." Without exception, these are worthless to me.

The only semi-easy way I know of to get rid of them is to hook the Kindle to a PC USB port and then do a multi-select delete on them with Windows Explorer.

Is there an automated way to prevent or delete them that I may be missing?

Thanks for all ideas.

Same problem here, they are very annoying and very time consuming to delete. Perhaps if Amazon made the warning to be like periodicals and lists all recent updates it would work out nicer.

They can be a pain but there is no way I know of preventing these messages - and I guess Amazon wouldn't want them to be prevented because they're trying to make the Kindle accessible to people who may not be very tech-savvy.

So bottom line is either delete one-by-one off the Kindle or hook the Kindle up to your PC and delete the whole load in one go.

Be a very nice feature if the Kindle could delete multiple files at once - bit like the process where you can add multiple books into a collection, that would do nicely.

That was one of the features that I loved on the K1. File Manager mode allows you to move/delete multiple books at once. There was even an option to select all items on the page.

Hm, the only way I can think of is to get rid of all the messages by enabling SSH server on the Kindle (usbnetwork hack) and let the files to be sent there directly rather than via Amazon... But I certainly would not recommend it just because of this - it is not that simple to do and one cause himself problems if he doesn't know what he is doing.
