Congrats on being able to try these.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-40932604047832984962010-08-04T20:41:44.763-07:002010-08-04T20:41:44.763-07:00John,

You see, I don't update wirelessly, because I have a US wireless K2, and I live in Korea. So...Amazon doesn't realize that I have the proper software updates. The website tells me that my Kindle(s) don't have the proper software...but they do. <br /><br />Halp!Tram1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15857989198155886999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-52007566108356934072010-08-04T17:33:10.643-07:002010-08-04T17:33:10.643-07:00Rich T.,

This is good to hear that you consider it good quality.

At the time I wrote, the reports on the forum were that no one could use myk page to send it to a 2nd Kindle or Kindle-copatible device.<br /><br /> Maybe they enabled it after. Thanks for the report! I'll update the blog entry after a bit.

Maybe they'll enable more countries as they go but the buttons are grayed for those in Canada and Australia and a couple of other countries so far.<br /><br /> It may be because this is a sort of trial - the first 2 apps released in connection with the future apps store -- as this phase supposedly includes releasing only free ones rather than paid ones. At least that's what I've read. <br /><br /> I don't know why digital media rights are so complex when it comes to country boundaries.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-591420696504749432010-08-04T07:24:10.932-07:002010-08-04T07:24:10.932-07:00Hmm...
