Once a firmware goes into full release status then Amazon will start pushing it out to all Kindles in batches. It will download the firmware automatically via 3G or WiFi and then apply it by itself.

You answered this already. "additions, or fixes to bugs"

3.0.3 last time I checked was still a preview aka beta release and therefore not pushed out to Kindles for auto update.
