How many versions of the OS do I need to test?

Does anyone have an idea of how many users use 2.x vs 3.x Kindle software? Do users tend to upgraded their software? I'm trying to get a good feel for which platforms on which I need to test to distribute eBooks and in the future simple games. I tested on my neighbor's 2.x and whatever Kindlegen spit out doesn't present as well as it does on a Kindle 3. So that raised the question. How many OS's should I be testing?

It seems to me that it makes sense to at least test on 2.x, since there are still plenty of people with Kindle 2s that don't seem in any hurry to upgrade. Just my opinion, though.
