One thing about this puzzles me. I live in the UK and have a K3 that has 3G access; I haven't received this email. In previous years, as far as I remember, the updates weren't transmitted via 3G, but were either done via Wifi or manually installed. I've never connected my K3 via Wifi and have installed past updates manually. The last manual update I did was a few years ago (I think the last one I did was 3.3; I didn't bother with the one after it, as it didn't do anything worth the worry or hassle of flashing the new firmware). So, after some time away from this board (sorry), I noticed this thread and decided to see what firmware version I have on my K3, only to find out that I have 3.4.2 already installed.
Now, either I'm a very dexterous sleepwalker and did all this without my knowledge, maybe I have another personality that takes care of my Kindle's latest updates, or now Amazon are transmitting updates over 3G. As I said, I believe that in the past Amazon didn't do these updates over 3G, probably due to keeping down the cost. Seeing that I haven't connected my Kindle to Wifi or manually installed the 3.4.2 firmware (or 3.4), then it can only have come about via 3G... or I need to worry about my unconscious nocturnal habits and/or sanity.
