It does indeed. I have downloaded it and am upgrading right now. I am wondering whether the GR integration will really work on my PW2, my Kindle is registered under my German address right now.

Edit : Nope, no GR. Kindle Free Time is there though.

Woah, they really overdid it with the Software Update screen. The text is HUGE on here compared to my K3.

Excited about the Cloud Collections and Goodreads integration.

Switching to my US account gave me my GR integration (nicely done btw). But can anyone help me with the Cloud Collections ? What exactly is new here ? I don't get it, I can't see any difference in the handling of the Collections. Anyone ? Jessica ?

I am going to assume the PW1 and older Fires will get updated because the description for the Cloud Collections state you can sync collections between all devices except the kindle for pc. So they must plan on updating your device in order for the new functionality to work between the devices. Once again, this is an ASSUMPTION on my part.

Now I need to figure out how this new collections thing works and where is the goodreads. UGH, gonna have to read a manual.

The collections sync now apparently.

And oh wow, they have newer covers. Not sure if I like them.

According to the Amazon page, it should be available to international customers registered to an Amazon.com account.

Re PW1 : I am sure an upgrade will come with some (if not all) PW2 goodies, but I don't see it coming before Xmas, or maybe it will arrive on the 24th as a Xmas present from Amazon but not earlier as to not impair their Xmas sales.

I haven't looked at them yet, I am trying to figure out the best way to get my collections onto my PW without having to manually put all the books on it and create the collections. Dang, of course they will exclude the one device where I have all my collections stored.
