Has anyone downloaded the latest software upgrade? I think it is 3.1? It is supposed to add page numbers, doing away with %complete.

I am having trouble getting it to download and wondered if anyone else is having a problem.

I am thinking it has something to do with the fact that I have a replacement Kindle that I received for one with a damage screen (my fault). However in my Kindle account on amazon, it appears like I still have 2 Kindles registered. I'm thinking this has something to do with the software not downloading.

Does anyone know how to reconcile this issue?

I'd contact Amazon. I didn't have a problem with my download (via Wi-Fi). However, I did have to read the FAQs carefully to find out that not all ebooks have the page numbers yet (only the most popular), but they are working on it.

Perhaps unregistering the Kindle that you no longer have in your possession would help.

I finally got it to work. I had to plug the Kindle into my computer via the USB port and follow some instructions on amazon and it worked.

After all that, I was disapppointed that the page numbering for the book I was currently reading looked almost the same. But based on millhold's note, I will have to check out some other books to see if there's a difference.

Do you have to have a Kindle 3 to receive this update?

5. Yes, Kindle 3 software is different from Kindle 2 software which is different from the original Kindle software. And all of those are different than the Kindle DX software...

Back in March, when the Kindle 3.1 software came out, there was also an update for the Kindle 2. I've forgotten what the exact number of it was. I think there was another incremental update for the Kindle 2 in April besides the one in March... but anyhow, I'm at version 2.5.8 on my Kindle 2 now.
