It also "might be" that the firmware update was corrupted in the download. We don't know. What we do know is that, for whatever reason, a working Kindle was bricked by Amazon's automated update process. In my opinion, Amazon should take ownership of that problem.
And I've never been able to grasp the point in the "my Kindles didn't ever puke on an upgrade, therefore it's not a big deal that they did puke on someone else's upgrade" argument. I've never had upgrade issues with my Kindles either, but I don't see how that makes it any more palatable for someone who's Kindle was bricked by an automatic Amazon upgrade. If anything, I would tend to think it would make it ever more frustrating for someone so "lucky."
