- How can I help ?
- Should I buy the Voyage now or wait ?
- If I buy it now, should I do something special the first time I boot it ?
- Once used, should I keep it in Airplane mode to prevent any update or does the Kindles only update if you specifically request it ?
- Is it possible to downgrade Kindles ?
* We are in a "Holiday Lull" right now, but maybe later.
* It can't get much more locked down than it is now.
* We have enough "in the box" samples for now, thank you.
* Amazon **OWNS** your KV device's behavior, updates will not make it any worse than with what is shipped.
* Your DX, and PW - yes; your PW2 - it depends, maybe; the KV - no, the 5.6.x series firmware was the lowest version built for the device.
