Hands On the Kindle 2.5 Update

The Kindle 2.5 firmware update announced over a month ago is now available for all. It will eventually auto-download to your Kindle while wireless is on, but, if you’re impatient like I, you can download it and install it manually using a USB cable.

After a quick download, transferring the file to the root folder of the Kindle and then selecting update, we have Kindle 2.5.2 on the Kindle. Pretty easy, but obviously more effort then waiting for the wireless update.

Kindle 2.5.2 software features include:

  • Collections
  • PDF Pan and Zoom
  • Password Protection
  • More Font Sizes & Improved Clarity
  • Facebook & Twitter Posts
  • Popular Highlights
