Which generation of PW can use these images? (1 or 2 or 3 only, or for both 2 or 3)?

1) If not happy with USB storage area -
Zero the first 16 sectors (wiping the mbr and partition table) and then re-boot.
The re-boot initialization will detect the 4th partition as un-formatted and "do the right thing" -
That storage partition is formatted with a special combination of options not available in the utilities you usually find on a PC.

2) Don't even think about those -
With the exception of any diags images.

Use the main system images posted by Amazon.
I.E: Any Update_*.bin file of your choosing + KindleTool to open it.
