Apoligize if this has been asked already in this thread. tried searching and didn't find it:

I have made it to step 7 - I'm not clear on the instructions about pasting url into text editor and modifying url. What url? Modify to what?

On the page linked (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=200203720) I have downloaded the tar.gz file for the FW I want, but am not sure how to install it? Simply copying the tar.gz file to the root on the kindle does not enable the 'update kindle' option.

Is there a bin file I can download from somewhere?

Edit: Just as a I finished typing this I checked the 'update kindle' option again and it was enabled. Looking at the device, it seems my kindle downloaded the necessary update bin file. So I am good now.

That said, as noted above, step 7 was a little unclear to me.

Thanks.
