Amazon has announced the availability of a new firmware package targeted at several of its tablets, namely version 4.5.5.1, which should include general bug fixes, as well as some performance, stability, and usability improvements.

To be clear, this new update is compatible with the producer’s 4th Generation Fire HDX 8.9, Fire HD 6, and Fire HD 7 devices, as well as with Amazon’s 3rd Generation Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, Kindle Fire HDX, and Kindle Fire HD tablets.

Since there is no additional changelog available at the moment, if you want to find out what the changes are exactly, you must apply the latest update on your device.

To do so, first of all, check your tablet’s currently installed firmware version, and make sure the software revision powering the device isn’t either newer or matching this present release. For that, go to Menu > Settings > System Updates and you should see the current build.

Now, if all is OK, save the appropriate downloadable .bin file specifically designed for your tablet, copy it into the device’s internal storage, and monitor the transfer to make sure no problems are encountered.

Afterwards, simply go to Menu > Settings > System Updates (path might differ from a model to another), and follow all instructions displayed on-screen for a complete and successful installation.

Therefore, from the links below, follow the one that best describes your device model name, apply the new firmware on it, and constantly check our website to stay “updated one minute ago.”
