Upgrade your Kindle NOW!
![]() All Kindle models from the Kindle 1 to the Kindle PaperWhite 2012 need a firmware update to be able to continue to connect to the Amazon servers. If you don't update by the end of 22nd March, 2016, you won't be able to update over wifi, you'll need to download the update manually and copy it onto your kindle via USB connection. Here's the per-Kindle-type versions you need. Here's the per-Kindle-type manual update download instructions (you have to click on your Kindle type). http://www.theverge.com/2016/3/20/11...t-at-this-time Last edited by pdurrant; 03-24-2016 at 05:47 PM. |

It's or else for me. I don't have access to my Kindles right now, so I'll be breaking out the USB cable for my K4 later this month.

Has The Verge only just noticed? This has been discussed to death in the Amazon Kindle subforum.
Or see Nate's article... dated a month and a half ago: http://the-digital-reader.com/2016/0...ry-old-kindle/ It seems to be one of those "last call for all passengers to..." things anyway. ![]() Last edited by eschwartz; 03-21-2016 at 09:33 PM. |

This is hardly news. Amazon have been sending out these emails for months now.

Old news or not, this thread serves as a reminder of an approaching deadline. For that, it has value.

My firmware version is 5.7.2.1
I hope that's the newest because I have no idea what to do otherwise. |

![]() ![]() But I wonder... given that there was a similar thread in the Kindle subforum, can a thread in a different subforum (not the News subforum) get elevated to the frontpage news alerts? |
