notices:
  1)  Kindle 4.0+ has a known bug that prevents some updates with meta-strings to run.
  2)  Currently, even though OTA V2 supports updates that run on multiple devices, it is not possible to create a update package that will run on both the Kindle 4 (No Touch) and Kindle 5 (Kindle Touch).
