Re: E-book readers.. Which one?
Hmmm.. I'll have to check that out.
I have noticed a bit of ghosting on my Kindle, For lack of a better explanation, it looks a bit like the previous screen "burned in" over the next screen, but its *very* faint, not even an annoyance.
I wonder if the update will help. Ill turn on the wireless function, and see if the kindle auto-updates, or if I have to do something with my amazon account.
Thanks for the heads up!

For the ghosting issue, try typing Alt/G on the keyboard. That refreshes the screen and washes away any remnants of the e-ink that may be out of sync.

| May I ask, where did you come by that information? I'd like to see what other "hidden" commands this device is capable of.
Mainly as I'm just curious.
As far as the update, I tried putting the .bin file on the kindles root (as per the instructions on Amazon.com to update it manually) but it didnt work, I didnt see the update menu I should have according to their online instructions. But, I left the wireless on and the kindle updated itself after a few minutes. It showed a screen saying not to turn it off, etc.. that it was receiving an update.. After it was finished, and re-booted itself, I checked, and the firmware was 2.0.3...
...I don't see a difference in the ghosting tho. Ill have to check out some book covers, and images to see if theres much difference there.
Thanks again!
