I'm updating both of mine right now. One has a jailbreak (screensavers) and one doesn't.
My jailbreak survived. My screen savers are still there, and the font that changed on the home screen remains. Last edited by booklover6; 09-11-2012 at 01:45 PM. |

I don't get why the K3 and K4 now have Parental Controls, yet the Touch does not.
Also, does the Touch also already have the improved fonts with better contrast, or are we still waiting on those as well? |

@dukesilver: Nope, the Touch is the only device still using the older fonts. (Although if you have a K3 or a K4, nothing prevents you from ripping the fonts from these and enjoying them on your Touch via the Fonts Hack ).

Wow - I never thought we'd see KF8 on the K3. Kudos to Amazon for providing a major upgrade for what is essentially a "previous generation" device.

I'm very surprised that we're getting so many enhancements with this update. I'm especially pleased to see there are font improvements and KF8 on the Kindle Keyboard! |

@DreamWriter: I don't have enough archived items to test this myself, but, yes, that seems to be the intent here, and what koland said in her post .

So, if I archive a book and re-download it, will I get the KF8 version?
