Kindle Version 2.5 software update ready to roll out

The 2.5 software update for Kindle and Kindle DX (see previous stories on it) is now ready to roll out as some users have reported on it already. Of course, the broad release date was stated as “late May 2010”, but it is nice to know that some users can already take advantage of it at the moment. Among the enhancements which will be accompanying the Kindle Version 2.5 are identified in the extended post. Own a Kindle? Why not turn it on and wait for an Over-The-Air (OTA) surprise, or have you been leaving it on for the past week already in anticipation?
