| 1276790 | 2012-05-23 05:32:00 | Straying a bit off topic here. My kindle is the base model, no touch, no keyboard, which makes it a nuisance to type in stuff you are looking for or to navigate on so I don't. I use my smartphone or my tablet or the PC app to find and purchase the books, but I read them on the kindle. I've done it all 3 ways, and synced the kindle both wirelessly and via USB. It all works easily enough. The point I was originally trying to make was if everything is working as is then don't worry about updating, or to use the cliche "if it ain't broke don't fix it" If the OP wants to make life easy he could always get a wireless access point, they're cheap enough. |

| 1276792 | 2012-05-23 09:49:00 | From the Amazon website... After you have downloaded your update file to your computer... Transfer software to your Kindle Keyboard: Turn your Kindle Keyboard on and connect it to your computer using the USB cable. Drag and drop the new update file from your computer to the root Kindle drive. (The drive contains a number of folders - such as "audible," "documents," and "music" - and is typically displayed as a "device" icon). Monitor file transfer and disconnect: Check your file transfer progress to ensure file transfer to your Kindle Keyboard is complete before disconnecting. After the file has transferred successfully, eject the Kindle to safely disconnect Kindle Keyboard from your computer. Disconnect the USB cable from your Kindle Keyboard and your computer. Start the software update: Go to the Home screen, press the Menu key, and select "Settings." Press the Menu key again, and then select "Update Your Kindle." (This option will be grayed out if the most recent update has already been installed or if the file transfer was not successful.) Select "Ok" when prompted if you want to perform an update. Your Kindle Keyboard will restart twice during the update. After the first restart, you will see "Your Kindle is Updating". Once the update is complete: Your Kindle Keyboard will automatically restart a second time. When you go to the Settings page, you should notice Version: Kindle 3.3 at the bottom of the screen. Once you see this, you know your update is complete. |

| 1276793 | 2012-05-26 14:15:00 | Hi Thanks everyone for replies!!! Yes thats true about updating the version...that I probably dont really need to, it is just without all the updates and not having wifi or 3g, it takes the fun/novelty out of it a bit. But I will try and do it manually if I need to. Again thanks |
