Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HDX 8.9″ users can now update their tablets to the new firmware v3.2.6 Amazon has rolled out online today. Although installing this update won’t bring much of a difference in the OS’s feature list and overall user experience, you’re still recommended to apply it in order to get the latest security patches, bug-fixes and performance enhancements that Amazon has baked into the firmware.
In this article I’ve put together the direct download links to the firmware package for both the tablets alongside a brief step-by-step tutorial to help you get through the manual upgrade process as easily as possible. To receive this update automatically over the air, just make sure you have an active wireless connect and navigate to Settings > Device > System Updates > Check Now and then tap the Update button to proceed.Â
