It is down to Amazon causing confusion though.
The firmware no. = model no. works very well.... up until the Kindle Fire (because it's not even a proper Kindle, it's some daft tablet), and the Paperwhite (as Blossom has already explained it's using v5 firmware but is clearly not a Kindle 5). So the only confusion I have now is what model number is the Paperwhite? Do we have to give up on the numbers and just know it as the Kindle PW instead? |
The Kindle Fire is a Kindle though. I have the K6. Sure it can do alot of other things but it still is a eReader at best. If we go by the firmware the Paperwhite would be a K5v2 but PW is the norm when talking about it. We now have two Kindle Fires that are not HD so I use KFv1 for mine and KFv2 for the new one or K6 and K10 but most don't know what I am talking about so it's just easier to say KFv1..etc
Both $69 Kindles are K4s We just add the color to the end. The 2012 model is K4B and last year model is K4S. We came up with this because the DX also uses this type of naming scheme.
