It does make me wonder if after the 22nd someone buys a used Kindle circa 2012 and earlier, will they be able to register it or connect it to Amazon in any way?
Side load the current firmware update.
Or get your books from somewhere else (fake registration HowTo has caught up with the 7th. generation changes).

For some people that will be confusing. Though most of the people here would have no trouble doing so.

Well, I finally got my postcard from Jeff.

The one and only Kindle I ever owned or registered to this account, is my KT@5.3.7

could anyone do the update and make a video that explains the new functions and shows it? ( in case there are some... )

I have an instinctual aversion to video tutorials, whats-new guides, etc.

What is your current firmware? I don't believe the 5.3.7 ==> 5.3.7.3 update introduces any surface changes.

YouTube has a lot to answer for. IMHO there are very few cases where a video tutorial is more suitable than well written instructions. It is very frustrating to be looking for nice written information only to be met with a multitude of links to video tutorials. Particularly frustrating if, for instance, you are familiar with a process and are just seeking specific information, for instance a url. Picking what you want out of written instructions is quick and easy. Not so quick or easy to get from a video tutorial.

Of course drones, but will they be armed?

It is just so much fun to take pokes at people with more money than many banks when the company they run makes a major public goof-up.

Even if they don't know any better (un-likely, they didn't get all that money by being dumb) -
They should be able to hire people who know better.

You explained it fine, I was just saying some people who buy or are given a used Kindle 2012 model and earlier might be confused about having to side load firmware onto it.
