An unknown version or version higher than your actual firmware may result in Amazon not delivering books or delivering them in an incompatible format.
Thanks, that's a good point.

I have a couple of kindles that I only read USB transfers on so amazon refusing to deliver wouldn't matter, but they are in permanent airplane mode so they don't need this kind of defense.
