Lol, oookay, then yes it is!
Know what, though? I wouldn't SWEAR on that, but I think that I kinda noticed this in at least one other case right after a fw upgrade... Maybe it's "normal".... maybe one should allow some time online after the upgrade? Who knows.

I'm thinking (might be hugely wrong here): I normally download the .bin fw and upgrade it manually since I am jbroken and control that process quite strictly. When I update the fw, the Kindle is in airplane mode, as it always is, for me.

BUT, the "usual" way the fw is updated is via automatic download once you are connected, right? Maybe the update process erroneously supposes that the kindle is online, and so tries to send something back to the amazon servers (like: DeviceID Gxxxx-xxxx-xx-xxxx has updated to fw ver 5.12.1), trying over and over, because, it THINKS, the device must be online...
Don't know, maybe I'm just being stupid huh, just my 2c.
