I took a look at the new firmware to see what was changed from the previous release. The only thing I found is a small UI change that can be remotely enabled by Amazon that will allow active subscriptions to be canceled using the Kindle.

They do try to make their change logs as uninformative as possible.

So far that seems to be only an iOS and Mac thing.

Just curious - are all Kindles updated at the same time, or is there a pattern of updates based on geography, age or some other factor?

My Kindle is still showing an earlier version of firmware (5.14.3.0.1), and the option to force a device update is grayed out.

Should I be worried?

Not all devices are updated at once. If you don't want to wait for OTA update to be downloaded via WiFi you can always use your computer to download update bin file from Amazon's site and transfer it via USB cable to your Kindle and update manually.

The option to update will not appear until your device has been chosen to receive the update and the update file has been downloaded to the device.

Amazon's firmware rollout process is very slow and cautious. It can take months before everyone is updated. Early adopters are effectively beta testers.

Strangely, for the first time after years of manually updating my PW3, i copy the correct update BIN file to my device, and the update option keeps greyed out, and after a reboot the bin file is deleted.

It never happened before. I have always my kindle in airplane mode.

Any idea why?
Thanks

Usually that means you have the wrong file or it is corrupted. For a PW3 the file is named update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.14.3.2.bin and has an SHA-256 hash of C65194DE87B3C89D0695E8F0314BC82EEB52896266F8399C10 7A4C8D020AA016.

amazon's confusing model nomenclature makes it easy to download the wrong file for your device.

What are the first 6 characters of your serial number and what is the exact file name you downloaded?

Is there a chance 5.14.3.1 will get a jailbreak? Before I consider upgrading.

Not many companies are good at change logs for new firmware.
