How to update Kindle software?

January 21, 2024

Learn how to effortlessly update your Kindle software with our step-by-step guide. Keep your device running smoothly and access the latest features easily.

How to update Kindle software?

 

Check Current Software Version

 

  • Go to the Home screen on your Kindle.

    •  

  • Tap the "Menu" button and select "Settings."

    •  

  • In the Settings menu, tap the "Menu" button again and select "Device Info."

    •  

  • Note down the current software version displayed on the screen.

 

Update Kindle Software Automatically

 

  • Connect your Kindle to a Wi-Fi network.

    •  

  • Leave your Kindle connected to the Wi-Fi overnight; automatic updates usually occur when the device is not in use.

    •  

  • Your Kindle should update to the latest software version automatically. Ensure it has enough battery charge and is connected to a power source during the update process.

 

Update Kindle Software Manually

 

  • Visit the official Amazon Kindle Software Updates page on a computer.

    •  

  • Find and download the correct update file for your Kindle model.

    •  

  • Connect your Kindle to the computer using a USB cable. Your Kindle should display as a file drive.

    •  

  • Copy the downloaded update file into the "root" directory of your Kindle (this is the main folder of the Kindle's file drive).

    •  

  • Safely eject your Kindle from the computer and disconnect the USB cable.

    •  

  • On your Kindle, go to the Home screen, tap the "Menu" button, and choose "Settings."

    •  

  • Tap the "Menu" button in the Settings menu and select "Update Your Kindle." If this option is grayed out, confirm the file has been placed correctly.

    •  

  • Once selected, your Kindle will restart and apply the update.

 

Troubleshoot Update Issues

 

  • Ensure your Kindle is connected to a stable and active Wi-Fi network.

    •  

  • Check if your Kindle has sufficient battery charge. A low battery might prevent updates.

    •  

  • Re-download the update file, as a corrupted file may cause update errors. Place it in the correct directory.

    •  

  • Restart your Kindle by holding down the power button for about 7 seconds and selecting "Restart."

    •  

  • If these steps don't work, contact Amazon Kindle Support for further assistance.

 

Additional Tips

 

  • Regularly check for updates to ensure your Kindle has the latest features and security updates.

    •  

  • Always back up your Kindle's content before performing updates to prevent data loss.
