Yeah, I have no idea how stable that "Kindle Software Updates" page's URL is.
To be completely frank, as the 6 bullet point version shows, it's also utterly messy to find from the MYD page. My suggestion: use Google.
That's what I've been doing since basically forever to get my update files, that should tell you something
.
As for identifying the model: you get pictures, and if you put the wrong file, it won't work anyway, so, no harm, no foul

Your feedback is definitely helpful

The challenge here is finding the right balance between "too much" and "too little" info, and avoiding spoon-feeding and reinventing the wheel. Which is why you can end up with pieces of info scattered in different places. It might look to some extent messy, but if exposed (and followed) properly, that ensures that you get up to date info at every step of the way.
Not everyone is knowledgeable with every cog involved, so deferring to the "tried and true" where applicable helps to ensure accurate info (... and helps keeping it that way as time marches on
).
In this instance, we've (and by that I mean mostly @knc1
) tried our best to make sure everything coordinated properly, but it's easy to miss something when you're too close to the thing
.
That's one of the reason I've always been wary of third-party documentation: it's frickin' hard to do it right.
Which is why you'll often see @knc1 begin by asking what the user has been reading
