Indeed. I wonder why? It's certainly not their fault, they are actually fixing things broken well "below" what they themselves invented - ie. the Linux subsystem (which runs the device, so Amazon is standing in the shoulders of giants as most of us in the field of embedded devices
.

I imagine Amazon would update your Kindle Keyboard to 3.4.2 before installing the critical update as soon as you enable the wireless.

I understand. Thanks for pointing that out.

The critical update needed by 22 March should just install the new amazon ca certificate. I don't know if this is needed only for the Kindle Store or for also using the 3G proxy server at Amazon. Time will tell. My Kindle Keyboard B006 only had two files changed by the critical update (EDIT: changes to 3.4.2 I have found so far) :
/usr/java/lib/security/cacerts
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
The updates should only be needed for people who use the wireless so maybe you can leave your kindle as you have so far.

Is there a place I can download only this emergency update from?
