Amazon have updated the Kindle Keyboard (as the older Kindle is now know). The new version adds personal document storing on the Kindle including Whispersync so that documents can get synced across devices.  The update can be installed by going to the Home screen, press Menu and select “Sync and Check for Items”. The software update will automatically download in the background and install the next time your Kindle goes into sleep mode
