As they all worked before the update, on 2 different kindles, I can only think that the update changed recognised file formats. At least it's all done now - if a long winded process ! Thanks for replying
Just Download the file from here
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=201756220

This is the file Download Software Update 5.8.5.0.2
Then follow this procedure.
Download it in PC then transfert it to the device using usb cable
and launch the update from the kindle

first connect the device to your pc
