My impression (based on experience registering Colorsoft recently) is that before they get boxed up, they load the update file for whatever version is available at that time, because as soon as I finished registering, it began updating (to 5.18.2 in my case); there was no indication it downloaded anything first. Also, inventory in Amazon warehouses must have been zeroed out because I had to wait a week or so, presumably for some shipping container to arrive.

I manually updated to 5.18.3 because I like the stupid double tap page turn feature, but am turning off WiFi so it's more likely I will be able to jailbreak if and when it becomes available.
