Any Kindle owners here?
 

Amazon posted the 2.5 software update for the Kindle 2 today (or maybe it was yesterday?)

You can create folders (they call them Collections) and organize your books with them. (also, about time they had such a feature!)

You can also password protect your Kindle now.


Here's the link to the update.

They have different update depending on what Kindle you have. (unfortunately, they have nothing new for the Kindle 1...darnit! My Kindle 1 is feeling like a red-headed stepchild)

I just updated my K2. I've got to update my dad's K2 in the morning. Too tired and stiff to schlep myself upstairs to steal his Kindle.

The update was easy, and it was kind of nice to organize my books.

I am going to ask for a Kindle for my birthday and if that doesn't work; I'll ask Santa for one for Christmas. ;)

I had better be on my best behavior...nah; too much trouble; I guess I'll just go buy one! :cool:

I just got New Yorker magazine on my Kindle, I'm so happy.

I've only done one newspaper on my kindle (not even a real newspaper...got a single copy of "The Onion" earlier this year).

Do the newspapers and magazines on the Kindle have the same amount of information in them like an actual paper magazine or newspaper?

Everything but ads and images (pictures) but New Yorker never big on pictures anyway. They do say a selection of cartoons (whatever that means), but quantity seemed fine to me. Every week it is auto-delivered, I think I'll have a lot to read!!

There were 21 cartoons. Black line drawings so looked fine on Kindle

I'm going to hack my Kindle sometime soon to put pictures of my dog on it to use as screensavers.

I might hack my dad's at the same time and put pictures of my mom and my nieces on his.
