To receive Kindle 1 updates over the air - turn on the WAN switch, then Home->Menu->Settings->Menu->check for new items.
Watch the bottom of the screen.
If it says "Downloading items", then that is probably your new Software (among maybe other things that were waiting to come to your device).
If it says "No new items", then the software may already be there and not applied.
To apply the update
Home -> menu -> Settings -> menu -> Update
If the "Update" menu item is not accessible, then the new SW is not there.
Try again a day later.
It may have come down and been corrupted, or the download was interrupted.
Eventually the system will recover.
Also - keep in mind that with a purported 500,000 Kindle 1's out there Amazon may not send updates to all devices at the same time, but roll a new version out in waves in order to smooth the data traffic. Just a guess.
