That is what this page says (ask google to translate for you):

Summary: The installation method depends on the firmware version, not the color. And amazon support said that the ONLY difference is the case color.

Amazon was comparing the K4B to a K4 which had been updated to the current firmware release.

So, has anyone actually tried installing Duokan on a Kindle 5?
I can't seem to find any indications that this has been done. No YouTube videos, no written tutorials. I just bought a Kindle 5 and haven't unboxed it yet. I'm considering returning it for a Kindle 4 that I know will run Duokan. |

The fimware version here denotes the number we give it. For example, My kindle runs firmware 3.4, so it is a K3

I press "Start the download" (translated from chinese) after waiting a few seconds, but then I get a popup asking me to enter something. The window title states something in chinese that is an image and not text, so I can't translate it with Google Translate. Ideas? |

That is a "Captcha" pop-up.
The link above is for the Kindle "mini" (K4) - not the Kindle Touch (K5) I thought you posted that you had a Kindle Touch in the box (or was that a typo?). This is what a K4 looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1gZ3BUaHRQ Notice the buttons along the lower bezel. This is what a K5 looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE0FECvKZwQ Notice the single "home" button on the lower bezel. (And a Kpw has the "Kindle" name on the lower bezel, no "home" button.) Edit: Ref: That K5 review: "Certainly you can't show videos on this display" - Yeah! Right! But that video is over a year old. Also, each of our device specific Wiki index pages has a picture of the respective model in the upper right hand corner. Last edited by knc1; 10-18-2012 at 12:55 PM. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPXA0uqMG_c but without the ads. It is the fifth generation non-touch Kindle. It seems it is called K4 Mini (?) Black or K4B here and on the Duokan forums, based on the firmware version it has. I can't be sure exactly what firmware mine has though, as I haven't opened the box yet, but I suppose it is 4.X something. Thanks for the captcha headsup. Quite an unconventional captcha. |
