I'd like to silently update their hardware.
On the other hand, Amazon did kindly remove special offers from my device for free this month.

If you really needed to, it *should* be safe to do so for a limited period of time.
No matter what, the Kindle can't download a 150+ MB download in 30 seconds or less.
And Amazon has consistently released full firmware images for a long time now.
Just make sure you delete any partially downloaded update immediately afterward!!
Or you could depend on the unlikelihood of an update being released right then, and the fact that the update is rolled out in waves over the course of ~weeks...
But as knc1 says, why risk it.
Sideloading works 100%
- Amazon might release an incremental patch for once.
- There is still that chance it will be released at that time.
- Someone is going to be first on the list to receive the update, and you'd feel pretty silly if it was you.
The risks outweigh the reward.
