Mine, bought in the UK, begins B008. And, yes, the upgrade doesn't work here either.
It differs depending on what type of Kindle you've got.

B006 = 3G+WiFi with a AT&T SIM which is the one you get in North America and a few other places.
B00A = 3G+WiFi with a Vodafone SIM which generally is the one you get in Europe.
B008 = WiFi only

You need to get the B008 file for your Kindle as it is a Kindle WiFi. It will reject the one for the B00A 3G+WiFi Kindle.
