It also turns out amazon says 5.9.2.0.1 is NOT required for the Voyage. I wonder if that assumes the Voyage is already beyond 5.8.11. In any case, I'm sitting tight.

Amazon does say my K2 needs an update, and they do list a minimum for K4NT, which I will have to check on later.
It's safe to update both K2 and K4NT (as well as K3, touch). The last update was for certificates only. You don't need them if you don't let your Kindle communicate with Amazon, i.e. sideload only. However, without these latest updates the old Kindles will not be able to communicate with Amazon. So you need them for whispersync, store, etc.

Keep your Voyage in airplane mode or put a folder named update.bin.tmp.partial into the top of the visible storage when you connect it to a computer. It will prevent FW update.
