As I mentioned I have received your updates on my kindle 2 which I continue to use while on a road trip. The kindle fire (first edition) has not updated since the banned book post.

Just wanted keep you informed in case that would help with the resolution of the pulse problem.

I’m investigating alternatives…I’ll let you know.

There’s clearly something weird happening, and I’ve got to ask Pulse about it.

The RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed is still going out…it’s updated at my Amazon Author Central page appropriately. That makes it seem like it isn’t WordPress’ fault. I cleared my whole thing at Pulse, started it over…and it still stops at that Banned Books post. However, other Pulse feeds are from as recent as 10/5.

I’ll see what I can find out…

That would be a problem with Pulse. I think I’ve posted five times since then. Even when I’m on vacation, I write ahead…I’ve rarely gone 48 hours without a post.

Three things to try:

First, try refreshing Pulse. Use the menu button (horizontal lines in a box), and choose “Refresh All”.

If that doesn’t do it, restart your Kindle (I’m assuming you have a Kindle Fire, since you are reading Pulse). Unplug it, then hold in the power button for a full thirty seconds (longer is okay).

Third, try “Force Stopping” Pulse:

Settings Gear – More – Applications

You may have to switch to

All Applications

from

Running Applications

Find Pulse, tap it, and you’ll see a choice to force stop.

If that doesn’t do it, post again. I’m glad you are anxious to get the posts!

There are quite a few changes, but whether it is worth it or not to you is beyond my ken. It’s a good idea for a post, and I’ll consider it…thanks!

Here are some factors which I think might sway someone to make the switch:

* Text-to-speech with Kindle store books…that would be worth it to me by itself

* Bluetooth: while there has been some glitchiness with Bluetooth keyboards and the KFHD, I think that will be resolved. In my case, when that is worked out, it will mean that I can stop using a netbook…a considerable advantage

* The camera: I have used it for pictures, and am looking forward to using it for video calling

* The sound is a quantum leap forward…if that’s important to you, that’s significant

* The screen is better

* The improved e-mail and a built-in calendar app (which both work with Google) could be enough for some folks

* The lack of Flash in the browser (which, as I understand it, comes from Adobe no longer supporting Flash for mobile browsers, but I haven’t verified could be a negative, but I use Maxthon which seems to handle most videos. I think sites hosting videos will work around that

* Twice the onboard memory…that hasn’t really been an issue for me, though

Hope that helps…

What kind of Kindle do you have?

As an owner of the first Kindle Fire since the first day they were available – is there enough changes/improvements in the new HD to make me want to upgrade?
