For normal firmware updates the new firmware will be installed sometime when you sync either via wifi or via the desktop app, however it can take a few weeks or more for a particular device to update, don't expect it to occur the very next time you sync.

Hovever this update is not a normal one, the main version number hasn't changed. If it is anything like the last time (2.6.1b) those who already have version 2.8.1 won't get the update automatically, and might have to do a factory reset or install it manually if they want it.

(If you need your reader for reading, I would wait until others have tried the new firmware before trying to install it manually.)
