Here's what I've found.  If my expected automatic downloads have not arrived when I first wake up my Kindle in the morning, I first use "Check for New Items".  You have to be on the home page; click Menu and it's the second option from the bottom.  Give it a minute to do it's thing.

Occassionally, this hasn't worked.  Next thing I try is a 'soft reset'.  Press ALT SHIFT (the Up arrow) and letter R at the same time.  Takes a couple of minutes to reset.. .leave Whispernet switch ON while doing this.  Usually that does it. 

Over the last couple of days they've been, I gather, moving the conversion/download functions to different servers at Amazon so that could be part of the problem.

Good luck!

Ann-

That is excellent advice! I did everything you recommended except a "hard" reset.

Finally decided to look on the computer at my Kindle account and discovered that is was simply....

that the trial period had stopped. I reactivated it and am so happy it was operator error and not the Kindle!

That's interesting. I don't subscribe to any blogs (Well, the Amazon Daily but that's free) but do subscribe to 1 magazine and 1 newspaper. When I signed up for them they just kept coming even after the 2 week trial. . .I didn't have to reactivate it. I had a couple of other magazines I tried and I had to stop them when I decided I didn't want to continue to pay for a subscription.
