Yeah, the update is trickled out to customers over a period of several weeks in case a serious bug emerges on a small percentage of machines. If you don't need the features urgently, just wait for the trickling to reach you. It'll only reach you while you're on wifi, of course, but it gets more and more 'urgently' pushed, so in the end even those who only go onto wifi occasionally will start receiving more pieces of the update the moment they go online.

You're quite safe from that. The Oasis doesn't execute any software from the partition exposed to the user over USB, it's running a locked-down customized Linux installation so Windows viruses cannot affect it, and it doesn't have an x86 processor in any case (it's an ARM) so it can't run any programs that can infect your PC in any case.
The only risk is plugging the Kindle into your PC, getting its USB partition all virused up, and then plugging that into *another* PC and getting *that* virused up -- but the Kindle would be unaffected.
