K3/Kindle Keyboard - new software update
I have an old K3/Kindle Keyboard that I use occasionally. I usually just side load my books when I want to add something.

I received an email from Amazon about a new software update for my device:

Quote:
Your Kindle e-reader requires an important software update to continue downloading books and using Kindle services.

•Plug your Kindle in to charge during the update.

•Connect to Wi-Fi.

•From the Home screen of your Kindle, select Menu or tap the Menu icon. Then choose Sync and Check for Items.

•Leave your Kindle connected to both power and Wi-Fi overnight, or until the update is complete.

The software update will download and install automatically, even if your device is asleep. Your device may restart multiple times during the update process. You will get a final confirmation letter on your device when the update is complete.

If you do not update the device software by March 22, 2016, you will no longer be able to access Kindle services or get the update via Wi-Fi. To resume access, you will need to manually update the software on your Kindle. Please visit our Help page for more details on how to update manually.

Since I normally sideload, I don't think I use any Kindle services that would be effected. I normally keep my wi-fi off.

Has anybody done this update? Are there any significant pros or cons involved?
