Dear XXX,
Your Kindle e-reader requires an important software update to continue downloading books and using Kindle services.
This important update applies to Kindle e-readers released prior to 2014. Visit our Help page for a complete list of impacted devices, and follow these steps to receive the update:
•Plug your Kindle in to charge during the update.
•Turn on wireless.
•Leave your Kindle plugged in and connected to the wireless network 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 connecting to a wireless network. 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 automatically.

On the help page, DXG was still only up to 2.5.8. I am running 3.2.1 by now. Anyone know should I connect to 3G to let it update as they require? What version I will have after the update? Will it able to update from 3.2.1 to 3.4.2 or will it fallback to 2.5.8? Or for the worst case, it will crash as I am using hacked 3.2.1?
Many thanks!
