I'm not new to Kindle firmware updating, so I'm surprised that I'm unable to update from v5.0.4 to v5.1.0 for Kindle Touch because the menu selection "Update Your Kindle" is completely grayed out.

I've checked many times - the update file is indeed in Kindle Touch's root directory, as this is the usual place to put the update.

Is this file for Wireless and 3G only? Because my Kindle is Wireless only. And I have not installed any hack on it.

Does it happen to anyone else?
