Kindle Firmware v3.0.1 To Enable On-Device Amazon Registration

SlashGear: "Amazon is offering limited access to an “early preview” of their upcoming firmware for the third-gen Kindle, promising “performance improvements” from the new software. Firmware v3.0.1 – available for both Kindle 3G and Kindle WiFi models – will also allow new owners to set up Amazon.com accounts directly from the ereader itself, rather than having to register online first. That functionality could make for easier in-store or gift purchases of the Kindle, especially when the recipient is not familiar – or lacks access to – a regular computer."
