Are updates sent automatically, if you have a WIFI connection, by any
chance?
Shoshana, who will save this email, in case they aren't.

Jane, the Amazon Web site isn't always as cooperative as it could be.
Here's a procedure for making sure you are downloading the Kindle
Keyboard update.
1. Logon to your Amazon account, and go to "Manage Your Kindle."
2. Activate the "Kindle Support" link.
3. Enter "updates" into the edit box next to the "Search Help Topics"
button, and then activate that button.
4. Activate the link labeled "Kindle Keyboard Software Update."
Hope this helps.

I did that and saw an update and downloaded it, but it was for another
model
of Kindle. It isn't really clear which updates are for which Kindle
model.

Don, good to hear from you.
I don't think I have ever received email notifying me about updates. I
just
check back from time to time, starting with the "Kindle Support"
link, in the hopes an update has been issued.

Russ, updates to the Kindle Keyboard software are not delivered via
3G, so you'll need Wi-fi for that. Alternatively, you can download
the updates to your computer and transfer them to the Kindle via the
provided USB cable.

You might want to get some sighted help not sure, but once it's in,
it's there. Wish I could help more with that, but you can enter the
letters, and hit the symbol key and hold it while using the top row
of keys for your numbers. You may be able to get it in that way. Hope
that helps wish I could do more.

If your wifi is a simple password, like mine was a string of
numbers, it was easy enough to hold the symbol key down and it
turned the top row into numbers as I did that and I was able to
enter in the sring of numbers that way without sighted help. It
doesn't talk you through every step but you are able to get
connected with little to no help at all on that one, as long as it's
not
a complicated password thing.
Hope that helps.

It doesn't matter, about the ads you're not going to be able to see
those or interact with those, I may end up getting the ad free one
if mine ever dies, just cecause I don't want that at the bottom of
my home screen but it won't bother you, the ads are unintrusive.
Thanks and hope this helps.
