For the PW-2.
Your info box says that you have a PW-1, the PW-1 does not (yet) run fw-5.6.5

The correct page for the PW-1 is:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=201064850

Which has not (yet) had a release of 5.6.5, they are still on 5.6.1.1

The page which corresponds to the Kindle model you have has been kept up to date in the past.
The past does not predict the future.
Sideload your purchase.

The directory rename trick has been tested on 5.6.1.1 and found working.

(It is the current firmware version being run that is significant, not the model.)
