There is no way to tell which version your reader is going to download in an OTA firmware update. You can make reasonably good guesses if you know your affiliate code, and changing your code is a good way to try and get a particular version, but it is never going to be 100% reliable.
The only reliable way of getting a specific version is sideloading, which I think you have said that you cannot do. Otherwise, wait until reports here suggest that the new version is now broadly available.
