What OS and version are you running?

Also, given that your Kindle is a 2nd Generation, you have two choices.
  1. Buy a new Kindle that handles KF8 and KFX
  2. Convert your eBooks to Mobi (obsolete format)

The advantage of a new Kindle is it's lighter, higher resolution screen with better contrast, and faster, and you can do away with 3G (in the US, 3G will eventually be a thing of the past). Plus you can get a larger screen with a PW5 (6.8").

And there are more features such as being able to use the font of your choice and to be able to increase the font weight as needed.
I am running calibre 4.15
As worried I will mess things up if I update?
Because it works to convert my books to EPub and Mobi.
Mobi because it works to transfer Mobis to my old kindle when I want to read outside with no glare.
But open to suggestions
