Software Update
In most cases, the Kindle itself updates the firmware by downloading it from the manufacturer’s website. But if you rarely use the network, or just want to be sure that the software on your Kindle is the most up-to-date, you can update the software yourself if necessary. There is nothing complicated about it.
Menu item "Kindle Upgrade" inMenu -> Settings -> Menu OTA update is not relevant. It will become active only if you place the necessary firmware update file in the right place. This menu item only starts the update process of manually uploaded firmware.

1. Check the software version of your Kindle Oasis: in the search field, type; 711 or; 411 and press enter.
2. On the PC, go to pageFire & Kindle Software Updates, find your device in the list (Kindle Oasis (9th Generation) and go to the Software Updates page.
3. If the firmware version on the site is higher than the one on your device, download the update file from the page by clicking onSoftware Update 5.x.x.x
4. Connect the reader to the computer with a USB cable.
5. Copy the update file that you downloaded to your PC to the root directory of the Kindle drive. Not in one of the folders, but next to them.Make sure the copy process is complete!
6. Disconnect the Kindle Oasis from the computer.
7. Start the update process:Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Kindle upgrade
8. Wait for completion and reboot. This process can take several minutes. Do not turn off the device during the update and do not try to force it to restart by pressing the Power button for a long time!
If you want to block the automatic update on the contrary, You must create a folder in the root folder called update.bin.tmp.partial

Not in the cloud of this book. Everything is fine with the mail, not the first time I use it. A letter comes from Amazon that the format is not the same.

* Billard,
C'mon, Amazon couldn't get notifications for 3-5-10 devices? Most likely did not want to.

In Brazil, he wanted to work, in China, India, Mexico - he wanted, but in Russia - did not want.
Stupid Amazon. :-)

if from the filibust itself, from the site, then they have been gone for a couple of years now.


I normally sent other files from this site to e-mail, everything came.
I threw this file through the cord - everything is OK - and there is a cover, and pictures, and transfers, but by mail @ kindle.com does not come, writes "the wrong format."
Thanks eliy, the problem is resolved. Apparently, the file was damaged.

Other files from this site
Files from this site can be delivered to the Kindle in several ways. for example, by air, or cable. download their ready mobi right away, or download fb2 and convert it locally, offline. There are quite a few of these tools, converters, and each of them is also customizable.
in turn, it can be delivered over the air using either the Send to Kindle application or by mailing a registered device to an email. so, on the email _u_menya_ files are now sent using any mail agent or mail service. and earlier - that which I was talking about also worked. it was possible to send a file to the reader directly from the site of filibusts. there are links near(read) (download)(mail) . so here (mail) I'm not working now. and for several years now, like. I talked about this.

and so - yes. files from this site. the only question is how.

About power consumption:

With a backlight level of 4 and Wi-Fi turned on, the book read (from 100% to 10%) 11,400 places.
This volume is approximately equal to the book of the format "Frame" in 480-500 pages.

With Wi-Fi turned off, the book read 21,000 places. Up to 10% charge.
Yes ... it turns out using Wi-Fi reduces read time by almost 2 times.
Although it still depends on the manner of reading.
For example, I was very surprised when, after acquiring a magnetic cover, the reading time decreased markedly.
Then it dawned on me that during this period I read this way:
Reading for ten minutes, then distracted for five minutes, then reading again.
When there was no cover, I simply left the text book, then continued.
After the appearance of the cover, he began to close it, respectively, the book fell asleep and began to synchronize with Amazon and so many times. Hence the increased consumption.

PS On PW3, with the above settings on a single charge, read The Lord of the Rings. Now I looked - there are more than 30,000 places.
The difference with the Oasis, of course, is significant, however, yesterday the PW3 was sold without regret.

My battery results are as follows: about 20 thousand places, up to 10% of the battery charge. It is without Wi-Fi and completely without backlight. What type of font do you have (type, size)? I use # 4 Bookerly.



Rep: (25)
What type of font do you have (type, size)? I use # 4 Bookerly.

Do you think the font has an effect on energy consumption? I doubt it ..
I use the font ChareInk.
The size range on my reader is 22 lines.



Rep: (0)
The more text there is on the page, the fewer flipping, and therefore less consumption. I think so…
I have 29 lines on the screen.



Rep: (7)
Whatever the battery capacity, at least 10,000 mAh, it will be incomprehensible to collect all the “statistics” early ... if you do not turn over, then the charge will not be wasted, and if the font is set to 1, it’s super. Sense to read without highlighting and in font 1? If you do not read, then the charge will be enough for several months.



Rep: (0)
I think everyone has the right to decide on what settings he is comfortable reading, and at the same time know how long the battery lasts.
I did not understand your indignation ...

Hello to all. I want to buy a subject. Comrades offer an offline version at a delicious price. Swear that's brand new.
How to check that it is really new? Is it possible to somehow transfer files to it, except as a cord? Is it possible to somehow send files directly to it via wi-fi from a smartphone if both devices are in the same grid?

There are. A man bought on Amazon, and on the way the parcel with a new device was stolen. Now they sell you, you buy stolen, consider yourself stealing ...

A man bought on Amazon, and on the way the parcel with a new device was stolen.

So why is the version offline? The office in which I want to buy gives a one-year guarantee. Such readers with a guarantee, but offline versions are sold in many places. It is necessary to steal wagons ... Something here does not converge.
What generally restricts offline, except for the transfer of files through the site and the Amazon services themselves?



Rep: (681)
Rich man @ 03/20/19, 8:46*
So why is the version offline?

Each device has a unique serial number that identifies the device on the Amazon server, if this number on the server is included in the list of stolen devices, then this device cannot be registered to an account in Amazon, and the device is offline, that is, there is no registration and there is no functionality, which should be registered device.

Rich man @ 03/20/19, 8:46*
but offline versions sell in many places. It is necessary to steal wagons ...

They steal a lot, people buy stolen goods, create demand. To stop stealing, you need to stop buying, and people are greedy, and ready to buy stolen, it’s cheaper ....

Talk about how to use a stolen device and what kind of functionality it does not want. Buy and find out for yourself. You now know what exactly you want to get and where it came from.

* eliy ,
Is it possible to transfer books to the offline version only by cable?
Or can I use wi-fi in some way?
Can I directly throw from a smartphone to the reader, or is it fantastic for the Kindle?
