Amazon has launched one other software program replace for Kindle ereaders that, for probably the most half, doesn’t appear to vary something. The Kindle Scribe did get one new function, however the launch notes don’t point out any adjustments for different Kindles. In case you discover something totally different after updating please go away a remark beneath; typically Amazon adjustments one thing that they don’t add to the changelog till a number of weeks after an replace is launched, if ever.
The brand new software program model is 5.16.9 and it’s obtainable for all tenth and eleventh era Kindles, and the Kindle Scribe. That features all fashions launched since 2018, going again to the Kindle Paperwhite 4.
If you wish to manually set up the replace you’ll be able to obtain it from the Kindle Software program Updates web page at Amazon. In any other case you’ll be able to simply look ahead to the replace to obtain and set up by itself in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later whereas your Kindle is linked to Wi-Fi. Kindle updates rollout slowly, although, so it’d take a number of weeks on your Kindle to replace by itself.
The replace is dated Might 2024 despite the fact that it’s now June.

All the opposite important ereader corporations promote colour fashions now, and Amazon is certain to comply with go well with ultimately.
