On my 7th generation Kindle I can update directly from 5.6.5 to 5.8.2? Is that right? I can't find the firmware for 5.7.2. LINK
How to download non-current update packages from the Amazon server is a FGA.

a worked example:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/G7G_Firmwar...ndle_5.7.2.bin
based on the url given at the page pointed to by the link quoted (German PW3).

I.E: Just change the version number in the link listed on the download page for your model.
