I like that we have the options.<br /><br /> And, the DX margin-handling is so much better on the PDFs now. But it's great to have the text annotations, inline-dictionary and even text-to-speech capability, not to mention the way the Kindle does search results within a book.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the report!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-59891571784598719232009-11-26T09:49:58.725-08:002009-11-26T09:49:58.725-08:00Working now.

I think the...Harvey, thanks for your generosity!<br /><br /> I think the main problem some were having with the manual download was not knowing that the 'root' referred to is like the c:\ drive described to Malcolm. That kind of naming led to a lot of confusion with early PCs and DOS, actually. If one knows that the Kindle's "root" is where you see the subfolders for 'documents' and 'audible' etc., then Amazon's step-by-step is actually quite good as a guide.<br /><br /> Another reason was that many had downloaded unofficial enhancements for personal screensavers and darker fonts. However, those had to be uninstalled first, and then people wanted those enhancements back instead of the firmware update, so it's a jumble. But I don't think it'll take more than a week to 10 days to get the upgrade automatically.<br /><br /> Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-51295919533769129612009-11-26T05:14:31.826-08:002009-11-26T05:14:31.826-08:00Andrys, Thank You!, Thank You! for your blog, this...Andrys, Thank You!, Thank You! for your blog, this one.I'm still waiting for my auto-download of 2.3 as I see many are having manual download problems.

It has to be at the top level, which is strangely called the 'root' (because all directories start from that level and work on down. An upside down tree.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-52818460371021978492009-11-25T05:03:59.594-08:002009-11-25T05:03:59.594-08:00I'm sure this is a dumb question but what is t...I'm sure this is a dumb question but what is the "Root Area"? Is this the opening area when you plug-in the USB cable and nothing shows but the Kindle standard folders? Seems strange that nothing shows there. I unhid the system folder but am not sure what I am doing.<br /><br />Thanks for the help.Malcolm Northrupnoreply@blogger.com
