KIndle updates from Amazon.com

Recommended Posts

I have ordered a Kindle 3G which has been delivered to my son in Uk and I shall be collecting it shortly and registering it whilst in UK. Today I received an email from Amazon.com announcing updates for the Kindle. Does anyone know if all these updates are notified by .com or if you have registered in UK via co.uk. Is it the case that the default register is .com?

Could this be because as far as I understand it, all Kindles are set to .com to begin with and it has to be changed to .co.uk when you have it ? Or have I misunderstood ?

Amazon.com email:-

Dear Kindle Customer,

We have a new, free software update for your Kindle that will be

delivered via a Wi-Fi connection over the next few days. To receive the

update, please turn your wireless on and connect to an available Wi-Fi

network (learn how to set up Wi-Fi on your Kindle).

The software update will automatically download in the background and

install when your Kindle goes into sleep mode. The update should take

less than 10 minutes to complete. If a Wi-Fi connection is not available

or you would prefer to transfer the update via USB, please view these instructions.

New Features Included in Free Software Update

  • Real Page Numbers

    Many

    titles in the Kindle Store now include real page numbers, making it easy

    to reference and cite passages and read alongside someone reading the

    print book in a book club or class. Page numbers will also be available

    on our free "Buy Once, Read Everywhere" Kindle apps in the coming

    months. As with all of Kindle's features, we want you to lose yourself

    in the author's words, so page numbers and locations are only displayed

    when you press the Menu button.

  • Public Notes

    This feature

    lets Kindle users choose to make their book notes and highlights

    available for others to see. Any Kindle user -- including authors,

    their fans, book reviewers, professors and passionate readers everywhere

    -- can opt-in to share their thoughts on book passages and ideas with

    friends, family members, colleagues, and the greater Kindle community of

    people who love to read. To review and turn on Public Notes in your

    own books, view the Public Notes of people you follow, track your

    reading activities, see Popular Highlights and your annotations, and

    view your full library of books, go to https://kindle.amazon.com

  • Before You Go ...

    When you

    reach the end of the book, you can now immediately rate the book, share a

    message about the book with your social network, get personalized

    recommendations for what to read next, and see more books by the same

    author.

  • New Newspaper and Magazine Layout

    A new browsing layout makes it easy to scan newspapers and magazines more quickly.
