Hello!

I have a Kindle Oasis 3 on FW 5.14.2, I just used KOReader's file explorer to check the /usr/bin directory and I do not see either otaupd or otav3 binaries.

Instead, I see a /usr/bin/checkUpdate.sh file. Reading the script, it seems to check for updates with Amazon, but I can't tell for sure.

Do you know if this OTA script is still expected to work for KOA3 on 5.14.2?

Thanks!

Edit: Never mind - I was wrong, doing an `ls /usr/bin` does show it in the terminal emulator, I guess KOReader's file explorer doesn't show binaries that it can't read
