Clearly, you can download the update without Whispernet, and of course you can copy it to your Kindle. But, if I've read it right, that's as far as you can go.

If you are permanently outside Whispernet (as I am), you cannot get to the Settings screen. That's because the Kindle has no way of knowing that it's registered to you. To get to Settings, you have to get past the screen that tells you to register. Which means you can't install the update

If I'm wrong about this, someone please correct me.
Curious. Have you tried manually downloading the update onto your Kindle, and then putting your kindle into sleep (screen saver) mode?

These updates are marked as "automatic" and should start updating within ten minutes of being in sleep mode.
