All touchscreen devices run series 5 firmware.
All series 5 devices are touchscreen.
Series 5 firmware and Kindlet-2.* only run on touchscreen devices.
However you word it, there is a 1:1:1:1 relationship between
"touchscreen":"firmware 5.x":"Kindlet-2.x":"series 5 devices"
= * = * = * =
Future readers, note the date of this post.
It may not remain true in the future.
Firmware 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, no I didn't typo, 10.x, 11.x are all the Color android (fire) tablets.
And then the Android (fire) tablets began getting series numbers less than 5.x (plus some sort of code word).
1.x, 2.x and 3.x are all grayscale, keyboard devices.
(There has never been a KDK for 1.x or early 2.x devices - it wasn't supported.)
4.x is grayscale, virtual keyboard, without touchscreen or 3G
(We had to fudge our own nickname pattern with the KT - which is internally, really a K4-2, it was clear that could be confused with the 2232 model K42. Our crystal ball has always had a cloudy area around the "K4" devices.)
I.E: there used to be a hint of a pattern in the numbering plan.
What the future will bring after 1st. quarter 2016 for grayscale devices can only be a WAFG at this point in time.
9.x is still up for grabs -
I don't think it has made a public appearance (yet).
Maybe it is in reserve for a non-Linux kernel device (Android also is run by a "Linux kernel").
A Windows-9 Kindle?
(Microsoft seems to have skipped "9" also and you can bet they would love to get in on the "lets 'out google' the vendor locked google store" business (the Amazon vendor locked store is the only real challenge to the google vendor locked store).
