So sorry to hear that. I haven't experienced those symptoms, but
perhaps a reader has. I wonder if there's a bug in the processing of
converted word docs?

Let me know what you find.

does anyone else experiencing problems after the update?

I had my wireless turned off (K2, international version, and I was pissed off by the short battery life) so I downloaded the update from amazon, transferred to the K2 and installed.

since it crashed 5 times within an hour; my prev azw files (converted from MSWord), which used to work, do not work anymore.

Kindle hangs, sometime freezes, consequently misrepresent certain books -- e.g. after the second page it jumps to the end of the book -- so I am less than happy...

I wonder whether it's me who is unlucky, or does it similar things for others, too?

Great instructions and comments. It wasn't immediately apparent how to get to landscape on the Kindle 2 and no one was explaining how. Your pics really helped. Thanks
