Why always a .1 version for each of the kpw3 firmware update?
Since v5.7.2, each time when there was a firmware update for kindle e-readers, there's always a .1 version for kpw3. The latest is v5.7.4.1. What did amazon do with those 5.7.2.1, 5.7.3.1 and 5.7.4.1 versions? What kind of problem couldn't be fixed after 3 firmware update?

Usually a x.x.x.Y is where the 'Y' indicates somebody forgot something in the release while busy trying to meet an unrealistic deadline and/or keep their job.
