I meant on the updates frontpage not as a direct link.

Anyway I think this is just planned obsolescence. Excepting the Voyage now only 8th generation and higher are running current firmware. What sucks about it is that those more modern Kindles have the SAME cpu as the PW3, and the PW3 has the same screen as the PW4. The new features of these firmware updates are either laughable or awful but still this is an anti-consumer move.
