The generation # is # of years from the original Kindle release minus one (because there was a two gap between the Kindle and the Kindle 2 and a one year gap between all successive generations).

Thus the 2017 Oasis being released 10 years from the original Kindle is a 9th generation Kindle. The original Oasis was released in 2016 and is thus an 8th generation Kindle.

You can also go directly to the firmware of your ereader by following links from the My Devices and Content page. Or you could just wait for Amazon to push the firmware update through wifi to your Kindle.
