HowTo update your 3.0.2 kindle to 3.4 (Serial number prefix "B006")

Sadly it would seem the info on The amazon support site is in fact wrong.

it states

Quote:

Versions prior to 3.1 (3.0.3, 3.0.2, 3.0.1, or 3.0), install 3.1, then 3.3, and then install 3.4.
but in fact installing the Update_kindle_3.1_B006.bin will report a version of 3.3 when installed, not 3.1. ?? I have tested this twice.
Both times: same result.

Additionally, (sometimes - somewhat annoyingly) the 3.4 update pushes down automagically and this can happen quite quickly so be ready for that too...

The 3.4 update takes seemingly forever to install but does in the end finish okay.

So to recap: "Your serial number starts with "B006"
(I didn't test any others)

Grab the 3.1 update.
Then the 3.4. (assuming you don't get auto-served it)

HTH
Bit confusing being a double update.
and completely undocumented as such.

Cheers.
