Kindle 3g was used similar way. This stuff is on youtube, even on github etc... I dont think it should be framed as a problem specific only to poor countries.

I'm still a bit angry that my internet was suddenly cut off :/ not like they ever notified me of it either.

You should be able to fix it by installing the latest updates.

But yeah, they should have let us known beforehand. I only read an article about it by accident.

That's strange, as I got several emails from Amazon telling me about the upgrade.

Huh ... interessting. They probably ran out of e-mails...

If they ran out of e-envelopes, why couldn't they just go online and order more from Am... oh. I see the problem now.

yes, worked for me - download the update(s) from http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_b... , mount your kindle and drag&drop them there.
