@kcladyz, no problem.   Unless I know differently from past experience with a poster I choose to believe a sharp answer is due to having a bad day.  I hope you are feeling much, much better.

I have two.  The newer Paperwhite was already up-to-date, but the older one w/keyboard just had to be plugged in.  They said overnight, but it seemed quicker.

I waited until recently to update and amazon actually sent me a postcard (in the mail) as a reminder.

 

I don't have Wi-Fi on my newer Paperwhite, just the 3G, so if it ever needs updating, I hope it can just be plugged in to use the 3G wireless.  I am not interested in Wi-Fi and I noticed that amazon said on its site that the newer models would be updated via Wi-Fi.

Re: Attention KINDLE Users

[ Edited ]

I have a question:   I have a Kindle Keyboard that I use everyday.  So, if I understand what I read in one of the links on Amazon, because I have WiFi and use it daily,  

I don't have to do anything, it will update itself,  Right?

It should be, but I'm amazed at how many owners are several updates behind.   I've always got emails about them and made sure I did it manually if it didn't automatically.

 

This link is from Amazon, kind of like what kcladyz posted with a little more info.

Another note.  The one of three that needed the update showed the same email I got on the kindle it's self as soon as I turned the wireless on.  Also when it was done.   For mine there's no visual difference and I think this is why people are confused.

Thanks for this thread, as I have a paperwhite and knew nothing about this update. Did not get any email. I did get the update installed last night and am good to go, I think. Thanks again.
