Do Kindles Update Automatically? Another factor to consider in updating the Kindle is that Amazon has designed Kindles to update the firmware automatically. From time to time, your Kindle will check with the Amazon servers if there is a firmware update available for your device. This will usually happen when you connect your Kindle to the wifi.. To manually update your Kindle, you will first need to find out your Kindle model to download the correct software version. Go to Settings > Device Option > Device Info.
