Amazon has launched yet one more Kindle software program replace, and thus far it’s solely obtainable for the tenth technology Kindle Oasis, which is relatively odd.
Amazon often updates all tenth and eleventh gen Kindles on the identical time, and the Kindle Scribe is often up to date concurrently as properly, however the Scribe was ignored of the final spherical of updates, and now solely the Kindle Oasis is getting this newest replace for some purpose.
The brand new software program model is 5.16.21.0.2. The discharge notes don’t give any particular particulars, like normal, and the replace erroneously has an August launch date as a substitute of September, so who is aware of what the replace really does.
The one factor that basically differentiates the Kindle Oasis from different Kindles is the truth that it has web page buttons. However I haven’t heard any complaints about issues with the buttons or the rest particular to the Oasis because the final replace was launched.
I feel all these latest Kindle software program updates have one thing to do with Amazon releasing new Kindles quickly. They’re in all probability attempting to get the software program prepared for some new fashions with some new {hardware} and new software program options, and Amazon at all times likes to maintain updating earlier gen fashions when newer variations come out as a substitute of simply leaving them alone.
You probably have a Kindle Oasis 3 and need to strive the brand new software program, you’ll be able to obtain it from the Kindle eReader Software program Updates web page at Amazon. Or you’ll be able to simply anticipate the replace to routinely obtain and set up by itself sooner or later sooner or later.
At the very least the final 5.16.21 replace appears to have mounted a lot of the bugs that have been reported because the earlier replace, however apparently the Kindle Oasis had one thing else that wanted mounted that didn’t have an effect on different Kindles. It appears odd, however Kindle updates have been mysterious recently, and the model numbers maintain getting weirder every time. One thing is up.
