If you look at the Kindle firmware updates page, you will see quite a few of the older Kindles have entries such as the ones in the image below where you have to go stepwise to get to the latest firmware update from an earlier one. The explanation I read several times on MobileRead over the years was that to keep the size of the firmware updates down, the firmware updates were only the needed files to update from version x.xx to x.yy.
