Good morning,

I have two questions about software updates on my Kindle Voyage.

Device Info says that the installed firmware is version 5.5.0. On Amazon's site, apparently the latest firmware is 5.6.1. It also says "We have a new, free software update available for your Kindle Voyage. This update automatically downloads and installs on your Kindle Voyage when connected wirelessly." My Kindle is connected to wifi (and also has 3G) and has no problem syncing and receiving books, but it hasn't received the software update (the "Update Your Kindle" link is grayed out). Why might this be, and what do I need to do to upgrade? (I'd rather not mess around with a USB upgrade, but I will if I have to.)

Secondly, is there a changelog anywhere for the software updates? It would be nice to know what's been fixed or added in each release.
