I installed the file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt dated 7 Oct 2015 from K3G 3.4.2 into the DXG with 3.1 along with the corresponding /usr/java/lib/security/cacerts file and still cannot connect to the Amazon store. There are still a few sites I can reach presumably with older more permissive protocols.

I doubt the Amazon critical update needed for the server changes due in March will include anything more than the Amazon store. I don't expect Amazon to enable full TLS for the 2.5.8 OS like they have for the 3.4.2 OS.

I should move my comments to the thread about the DXG 2.5.8 browser instead of clogging up this thread. The DXG with 3.4.2 is still a problem if the only way to get the critical updates is by OTA from Amazon. I am unsure if the March changes will affect only the Amazon Store or all of the internet browsing using the Amazon proxy. Hopefully there will be a way to manually update the older kindles in the future instead of just by over the air methods.
