Amazon Kindle 2 firmware upgrade http://techdairy.com/2009/11/30/fuk-up-recovery-amazon-kindle-2-firmware-upgrade/ http://techdairy.com/2009/11/30/fuk-up-recovery-amazon-kindle-2-firmware-upgrade/#comments Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:19:05 +0000 milkman http://techdairy.com/?p=68 How bad do you have to mess up in the battery management department to be able to release a firmware update that increases battery life by up to 85%?

85%!  That’s a shit ton of extra battery life!  You mean that for the first few months I had the kindle 2 I was getting battery-life raped?

This is a result of one of the following:

  • They royally screwed up on battery management the first time around, which got Scotty fired and ended with this new firmware upgrade.
  • They’re over-exagerating the firmware upgrade to make people jolly for the holidays.  Marketing antics.
  • They turned off the internal hidden Camera.  They realized they didn’t get enough entertaining footage from avid book readers.

Anyway, congrats to all those who discovered that their kindle now has 85% more stamina.
