Software install on a Kindle 3G - part 2
Downloaded rar-archive from
link #2 in montalex post above - ( tick off the rar-archive and mouse click on that symbol ).
Unpacked the new files to a folder 11月20号发布版本 and traversing it. As this is a new install, - first you may try to figure out the instructions in the PDF file.
You find it in the folder shown in the first picture. ( I may give a translation or wiki one day )
Note what is said here In my case, I am not upgrading an existing system, so I copy the update_duokan_0b006.bin file ( it shoud probably be say install instead of update ) to the root of my USB device. I have already checked my model number in the Settings menu on the Amazon-Kindle. The folder is shown in the next picture. And the last picture shows my USB-Kindle folder with the 3 folders DK_Documents, DK_Pictures,
DK_System - note this last folder which actually holds all system files. If upgrading, they say to only copy these 3 folders over. All you need to do. But in reality, you may only do the last folder as the other folders are empty. You may want to keep your books, and pictures of course. It is only that these 3 folders must be present.
Save remove of usb-device and watch it go through a couple of reset cycles - you see the Amazon kid under the tree start up, stop halfway, then some blinking, it may start up again and now you get the Duokan entry page: select 'Q' and it will start up, or the second will start the normal Amazon software.
