I got the same e-mail today regarding updating my dxg to 2.5.8* (already had 2.5.8). I just followed the instructions.
Kindle (2nd Generation) or Kindle DX (2nd Generation)
From the Home screen of your Kindle, press the Menu button.
Select Turn Wireless On with the 5-way controller.
Press the Menu button again and select Sync & Check for Items.
Plug your Kindle in, and leave your Kindle plugged in and connected to its wireless network overnight.
While asleep, the software update will download and install automatically. Your device may restart multiple times during the update process. You will receive a final confirmation letter, on your device, once the update is complete.
Within a few hours I checked my DXG and there was an Update title on my home screen that when I opened it said that it had been successfully updated.
So, all worked fine for me. Wireless = 3G for the DXG, not wifi (which it does not have).
Funny that Amazon does not also provide an update file you can download and install manually like previous updates. Not sure why not? Maybe some security concerns?
