There are a lot of people who just don't like to plug their device into their computers (or don't have a computer around to plug it into). I just tried going to the software update page for my Oasis from my Oasis, and got an error that simply said

Invalid File Type

The Experimental Web Browser cannot download this kind of file.

Only files with the extension .AZW. .PRC, .MOBI or .TXT can be downloaded to your Kindle
