From the Kindle Software Upgrade v2.5 help page today, at the top, where Amazon asks users to monitor the page for further news, we see:
Kindle Version 2.5 Overview
We know Kindle customers are anxious to receive the 2.5 software update, so we wanted to provide you with some details about its status. We’ve rolled out the 2.5 software release to a set of Kindle customers and have received great feedback from these early customers. Based on this feedback, we are making some small adjustments to improve the experience further. We will be rolling out the 2.5 software update to more users over the coming weeks.
The broader delivery of the new update was to be in late May (which is now), but as of 5/28 they’re continuing to roll out the software slowly to more (not all) users ‘over the coming weeks’ after small adjustments. Forum members are a bit restless.
No real bugs have been reported on the forum, but it is clear that most who received it recently really need to have the Home page listing of Collections in alphabetical order (they’re shown the listing in that order when users do the Add files to Collections process).
Also, there is some slowness in load time that is probably caused by the association of any file with several Collection categories — so, the info needs to be gathered and in place for the screen display by Collections, which are user-set and changeable — in my case, I am changing things frequently as it’s flexible and it takes time to know what works best for the individual.

Seriously? What has Andrys Basten done to delay Kindle v2.5?
Yes, the obstructionist WIB – Woman in Black 🙂
