Kindle 3.X UpdaterThis is a script that allows you to install the latest Kindle software (3.X) on an older Kindle (Kindle 2 and DX). You need a jailbroken Kindle 3 to obtain the files legally (I will not distribute them) and the Kindle 2/DX must also be jailbroken. Detailed installation instructions are found in README.txt.
This allows the old Kindles to take advantages of new features such as the improved web browser, better PDF support, page numbers, and more.
There are currently two known bugs. Sometimes, the sound gets fuzzy, which makes the music player unusable. I would suggest using the MPlayer script for Kindle to play music. Another bug is that active contents do not work currently. I do not know the cause of this.

Kindle 3.X Updater (1.0)
Kindle 3.X Updater Source (1.0)
I have a Kindle 3 with 3.3 on it and a DX with 2.5.8. Will the create updater scripts work properly with 3.3? I know you have it as 3.x but I want to check. Also if I have a Kindle without ads can I just go through the procedure (since it doesn’t need to be jailbroken).
Thanks Nick
I am also interested in whether my Kindle Keyboard with the newest firmware will be able to go onto my DX.. thanks!
hi my host is k3(3.3) also. on step 2,”update software” menu item appears greyed out (disabled) in the client, a kdxg(2.5.8). any help please?
I have Kindle DX Graphite
In PART 2 it says .. “If your version is not listed, please upgrade the host.” There is no dxg create_updater file. So, what means “upgrade the host” How can I do it? Please help. Thanks
