Nice catch -
I did forget to include that warning in V-2 (it is in V-1)
I will get that fixed, sometime, RSN.

In answer to your question:
The initial factory update packages **are not** model locked.
Then can be installed on the 'wrong' model.

We have been there, done that, and found that it wasn't fatal.
Some hardware features will not work with a cross-install - -
But it can be corrected by installing the correct update file.

Thanks for the feedback -
It reminded me that I didn't mention that a "Kindle Hacker" might want to stay with the initial factory install because it has MANY software features installed that do not make it into the 'consumer' models.
I.E: More fun things to play with.
