See http://the-digital-reader.com/2016/02/09/amazon-now-demanding-that-you-update-your-old-and-very-old-kindle/ where people unpacked the update and figured out it is just updating the list of root certificates, most likely because they are replacing the certificates on the servers the kindle talks to on the date in question.
The enforcement notice is only counting from 10th September 2013 for those 4609 complaints but they've been at it since at least 2011 as I sent them an email on 11th October 2011 when they sent me an unsolicited SMS to which I received no reply, and then on 24th April 2012 when they did it again. That time they did at least reply and tried to blame it on a third party marketing company and told me to contact them.
Good to see the ICO actually doing something for once, even if it is only telling them to stop it.
