kindle 更新_如何手动更新您的Kindle

kindle 更新

If you want the latest Kindle features right this second (or you missed a past update), the best way to get an immediate update for your Kindle is to do it manually. Read on as we show you how to easily update your Kindle.

如果您想立即获得最新的Kindle功能(或者错过了以前的更新)，则立即获取Kindle的最佳方法是手动进行。 请继续阅读，我们将向您展示如何轻松更新Kindle。

As a general rule, Amazon’s over-the-air updates are usually hiccup free (even though they might take upwards of a month to slowly roll out to every Kindle across the globe). But maybe your Kindle stopped updating for no reason (like ours did), or maybe you’re just in a rush to get the latest and greatest features. Whatever your reasons, you don’t have to wait for Amazon to roll that update out.

通常，亚马逊的无线更新通常不会打h(即使它们可能需要一个月以上的时间才能慢慢推广到全球的每个Kindle)。 但是，也许您的Kindle无缘无故地停止了更新(就像我们所做的那样)，或者您只是急着想要获得最新和最好的功能。 无论您出于什么原因，都不必等待亚马逊推出该更新。

第一步：识别您的Kindle模型 (Step One: Identify Your Kindle Model)

Although we’ll be updating a second generation Kindle Paperwhite in this tutorial, the same technique we’ll guide you through works on all the different Kindle models. The first and foremost step is that you identify which Kindle you have in order to ensure you’re comparing the right software version for your model and downloading the appropriate update.

尽管我们将在本教程中更新第二代Kindle Paperwhite，但我们将通过相同的技术指导您在所有不同Kindle型号上的工作。 第一步也是最重要的是确定您拥有的Kindle，以确保您比较适用于您型号的Kindle软件版本并下载适当的更新。

Rather than squint at the tiny model number on the back of your case and then Google the model number, the simplest method is to check the serial number as the first four alphanumeric characters indicate the model/generation of your Kindle.

最简单的方法是检查序列号，因为前四个字母数字字符表示您的Kindle的型号/代号，而不是斜着看书架背面的微型型号，然后是Google的型号。

If your Kindle is linked to your Amazon account ,simply log into your Amazon Content and Devices dashboard and click on the “Your Devices” tab. Select the Kindle you want to update and read the notation beside it, like so:

如果您的Kindle已链接到您的Amazon帐户，只需登录到Amazon Content and Devices仪表板，然后单击“您的设备”选项卡。 选择要更新的Kindle，然后阅读旁边的符号，如下所示：

In the case of the Kindle I’m interested in updating today, the first four characters of the serial number are B0D4. You can also find the serial number by turning your Kindle on and looking in the Settings > Device Info menu. Once you have the first four characters, you can reference the following list to determine exactly which model you have. Save yourself some time and use Ctrl+F to search for the character string.

对于今天有兴趣更新的Kindle，序列号的前四个字符为B0D4。 您也可以通过打开Kindle并在“设置”>“设备信息”菜单中查看来找到序列号。 一旦有了前四个字符，就可以参考以下列表来确定您所拥有的型号。 节省一些时间，然后使用Ctrl + F搜索字符串。

Once you’ve double checked your serial number against the list, it’s time to grab the actual update files.

一旦您对照列表再次检查了序列号，就可以获取实际的更新文件了。

第二步：下载更新 (Step Two: Download the Update)

Armed with the version number of your Kindle—in our case, confirmed by the serial number, the Paperwhite 2—head over to the Amazon Fire & Kindle Software Updates page. Scroll down until you get to the Kindle section and then match up the Kindle you have with the appropriate model. Remember, there may be multiple versions of the same model—this is why we went searching for the serial number in step one.

有了Kindle的版本号(在我们的情况下，由序列号Paperwhite 2确认)，可以转到Amazon Fire＆Kindle软件更新页面。 向下滚动直到您到达Kindle部分，然后将您拥有的Kindle与合适的型号进行匹配。 请记住，同一型号可能有多个版本-这就是为什么我们在第一步中搜索序列号的原因。

Once you’ve selected the model, you’ll see a download link with the current version number listed. Take note of the version number but don’t download it just yet.

选择模型后，您会看到列出了当前版本号的下载链接。 记下版本号，但暂时不要下载。

Before you download the update, confirm that version number is higher than the current version on your Kindle. On your Kindle, navigate to Menu > Settings > Menu > Device Info. You’ll see a screen like the following one.

在下载更新之前，请确认版本号高于Kindle上的当前版本。 在Kindle上，导航至菜单>设置>菜单>设备信息。 您会看到类似以下的屏幕。

Clearly, the firmware version we have on our Paperwhite  (5.6.1) is behind the most recent version as of this writing (5.8.5). Somewhere along the line, we got the summer 2016 update but missed out on the big fall 2016 update that ushered in the new home screen layout. Now, with the discrepancy between the most recent version and our version confirmed, we can download the update file. Click on the link “Download Software Update [version number]”. It’ll save the update as a .bin file.

显然，我们在Paperwhite(5.6.1)上拥有的固件版本落后于本文撰写时的最新版本(5.8.5)。 顺带一提，我们获得了2016年夏季的更新，但错过了引入新主屏幕布局的2016年秋季大更新。 现在，在确认最新版本与我们的版本之间存在差异后，我们可以下载更新文件。 单击链接“下载软件更新[版本号]”。 它将更新保存为.bin文件。

第三步：将更新复制到Kindle并安装 (Step Three: Copy the Update to Your Kindle and Install It)

Once the download is complete, attach your Kindle Paperwhite to your computer with a USB cable and copy the update .BIN file to the root directory of your Kindle Paperwhite. The file must be in the top level folder, so if your computer mounts the Kindle as the F drive, the path to the coped update package should be F:\update_kindle_[version number].bin

下载完成后，使用USB电缆将Kindle Paperwhite连接到计算机，然后将更新的.BIN文件复制到Kindle Paperwhite的根目录。 该文件必须位于顶级文件夹中，因此，如果您的计算机将Kindle作为F驱动器安装，则对应更新包的路径应为F：\ update_kindle_ [version number] .bin

Once the file is placed in the root directory of your Kindle device, right-click on the Kindle’s drive and choose Eject to unmount it from your system. Go ahead and unplug it.

将文件放置在Kindle设备的根目录中后，右键单击Kindle的驱动器，然后选择“弹出”以将其从系统中卸载。 继续并拔下电源插头。

Now, you simply need to instruct the Kindle to update via the Kindle’s menu system. On the Kindle, navigate to Menu > Settings to enter the settings menu, then tap the Menu button again from within the settings menu and select “Update Your Kindle.” Press OK and then wait. (If the “Update Your Kindle” option is grayed out, that means the Kindle was unable to locate the .bin file; confirm you placed it in the root directory and try again.)

现在，您只需要指示Kindle通过Kindle的菜单系统进行更新即可。 在Kindle上，导航至“菜单”>“设置”以进入设置菜单，然后再次从设置菜单中点击“菜单”按钮，然后选择“更新您的Kindle”。 按确定，然后等待。 (如果“更新您的Kindle”选项显示为灰色，则表示Kindle无法找到.bin文件；请确认您将其放在根目录中，然后重试。)

After your Kindle reboots (don’t be concerned if it takes a minute or longer to finish rebooting and updating), repeat the version check process by looking in the Device Info menu. You should see an updated version number, and, with newer Kindle operating systems releases, you can even read the release notes right on your device by tapping the “More Info” button:

Kindle重新启动后(不用担心需要一分钟或更长时间才能完成重新启动和更新)，请通过在“设备信息”菜单中查看来重复版本检查过程。 您应该会看到一个更新的版本号，并且在更新的Kindle操作系统版本中，您甚至可以通过点击“更多信息”按钮来在设备上阅读发行说明：

Your Kindle is now up to date with the latest features and you didn’t have to wait for the device to automatically update over the air. While we hope your future OTA updates are smoother, it’s easy (once you know where to look) to manually grab an update and refresh your Kindle to the latest version.

您的Kindle现在具有最新功能，您无需等待设备自动进行空中更新。 我们希望您将来的OTA更新更加顺利，但很容易(一旦您知道在哪里看)就可以手动获取更新并将Kindle更新到最新版本。
