Amazon has just issued a firmware update (5.3.3) for the Kindle Paperwhite. Leaving your device's wireless enabled will eventually install it automatically. If you can't wait, go here
The Ultimate HCG Diet Cookbook is available free at the moment right here.
Amazon has also rolled out a new 'rental' service. A few books are available for a month's rental fee of about half the retail price. Keep it more than a month and you are charged more until after six months when you owe them full price. I don't think I will be taking advantage of that option.
