Last night, I updated my Kindle. Took a couple hours because I couldn't remember how to do the transfer of the file from computer to Kindle. Amazon's "drag&drop file" explanation wasn't very helpful in the missing details department. All the while I pitched a fit, rereading Amazon help made me feel like it was repeatedly telling me "To put the lotion on".

At least I didn't get threatened with the hose.

Oh shit. You gotta update a Kindle?! 😳*runs to go check mine*

It's no big deal if put off/forgot to update. Last time I updated was year or two ago. This isn't like virus protection - Amazon's just giving extra features and or streamlining others.

Uh wot? Doesn't it do that automatically? My new one at least found the books I'd bought on the old one without any problems when i synced it ...

I only have the wireless on when there's a book download. 95% of the time, it's off.

Updated your kindle?? I've not heard of such a thing.

I'm glad that you managed to get it done successfully

The updates aren't frequent like say Windows or virus protection, so unless you leave the wireless on all the time, they're easy to miss.

My Kindle updates. Was a 3.1, now it's current 3.4.2

I feel ya! It took me FOREVER to figure out how to update my Kindle files!

[zimon66]

Why the hell can't the updates be done like a standard ebook order???!!! I don't get the big song and dance for Kindle updates and prime book lending (currently can't get that to work for me - decided to give it a shot and got nowhere with the damn thing).

Because its not gonna brick your kindle if a book file corrupts I think haha.

Now. Lotion.
