Go to the Amazon page for your device, download the current image (5.8.11) follow their directions to install.

If you want to jail break that device so you can use any of our after-market add-ins, do so before you update it.
That is: You can jb 5.8.2 but not (yet) 5.8.11

As posted above, Amazon switched to complete images sometime around 5.3.x (right at the time they introduced the first Paperwhite).
