What model Kindle do you have? It may have already done the software update automatically if you have the WiFi turned on. Current Kindle software version history here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_bc_nav?ie=UTF8&nodeId=200529680

It’s an old Touch. I only use it on long flights, so it is rarely turned on. My usual device is the Fire.

It turned my keyboard kindle into a brick.Too old to update via WiFi and I don’t currently own a desktop or laptop. I ordered a paperwhite with 3g (used). It was time anyway. The keyboard was a frankenkindle, put together with parts from 2 broken models.

I found that out a while ago. NOW I make sure I have downloaded a couple of reads when we go out. As long as I have gotten them on my device, I can read them.
