The amazon site offers older firmwares but writes devices names next to it, I wonder if the
- Kindle Paperwhite (7th Generation) 5.16.2.1.1 firmware is ok on the Kindle Scribe.
Don't want to fuck up the device I just received.

Also once on Koreader, can I use wifi as much as I feel like without having any software update from the device and put books on it wirelessly from calibre? Because it you can't I might simply just stay with the original firmware, which is pretty good as it is for reading comics and books.
Amazon will not allow you to install firmware from a different Kindle. Also, you cannot downgrade firmware without first being jailbroken.
