How Can I Update My Kindle Device?

 We all love Kindle for sharing an incredible reading experience with us anytime and anywhere. But, if you are using Kindle, you must know How to Update Kindle software for continuing its error-free functioning and wonderful experience.   If your Kindle is not up to date, you may encounter technical troubles while trying to read books.  Some people have questions that their Kindle device lacks features.  The reason behind this problem is the outdated Kindle version. So, if you want to update your Kindle to the latest software version available read this post. Here, we are going to share some simple step-by-step guidelines that can help you to complete the task.


Amazon keeps releasing the Kindle software updates to share the all-new features and better user experience with the customers. You have to install the latest update on your device to access all those features. If you want to check whether the latest update is available for your Kindle or not, you can go to the Settings and check it from there.

In Settings, tap on the three dots present in the upper right corner of the screen. Choose the 'Device Info' option. Check the firmware version number and compare it to the  Kindle software update page that Amazon has listed for your Kindle model.

You can update the Kindle software in two ways;  automatic or manual.

Automatic Update

If you have no idea about updating Kindle software, then you can go with the Automatic updates.  Automatic updates are the easiest option for updating your Kindle software on its own when plugged into the power outlet. Although,  for the automatic Kindle software update, you need a strong and reliable Wi-Fi connection until the update process gets completed.

However,  auto-updates may take several weeks to update the software after the latest Kindle version is released. Thus, you need to make sure that you keep the WiFi on all the time. Also, do not turn on Airplane mode for power saving, because this way, the update is not going to work.

Manual update

You can also download the update manually from Amazon and then you can sideload the downloaded update to your Kindle device with the help of a USB cable.  The Biggest Perk of updating the Kindle software manually is that you can get the update as soon as it is released. This means you do not need to wait for weeks to get access to all the latest features that the Kindle has released.

If you want to manually update your Kindle device, then visit the 'Kindle Software Update' page, and here you have to choose the specific Kindle model you are using.  After that, download the Kindle update file to your system.

Once the file has been downloaded, you need to smart plug the 'Kindle' into your PC with the help of a USB cable. Drag the downloaded file onto the Kindle Drive.  After completing the transfer, disconnect the USB cable safely from both the devices.

To Trigger Kindle update, open the Settings and tap on the three dots. Choose the 'Update your Kindle' option and download the updates.


So, this is how you download the Kindle software update for your device. You can choose any of the above-mentioned methods for updating your Kindle device.  However, if you are still unable to do the task on your own, you are always welcome to contact the Kindle experts and take professional advice to do it.  The experts will always give a solution to the problem and make sure that nothing stops you from accessing the all-new features of the Kindle device.
