Hi,

why do not block updates with a big dummy file?

for example:

1 MB = 1048576 bytes

fsutil file create new f:\kindle_storage\blockupdates 1048576
so now create a dummy file that only 150 MB is left on the kindle storage.

So there is not enough space for downloading the ota file. I hope that is correct?

In my case 150 MB free space is enough for any books on the Kindle. Normally I delete the books after reading...

Kind regards
