Amazon has lastly launched the most recent software program replace (nicely, the second newest, technically) for the Kindle Scribe, so now it’s operating the identical software program model as different current Kindles (besides the tenth era Kindle Oasis).
The brand new software program model is 5.16.21. A few month in the past Amazon launched the 5.16.21 software program replace for all tenth and eleventh gen Kindles, however for some cause the Kindle Scribe was not noted, despite the fact that Amazon normally updates all current Kindles across the similar time.
Like regular, the discharge notes don’t give any particular particulars about what the replace does, they usually didn’t even trouble updating the date (the discharge notes say August as a substitute of September), however there have been lots of stories of issues with the sooner 5.16.10.0.1 replace, so it was assumed this was largely a bug-fix replace.
It’s additionally not the most recent Kindle software program replace that Amazon has launched. Final week they launched a 5.16.21.0.2 replace, however up to now that’s solely out there for the Kindle Oasis 3, which is slightly odd.
Up to now I haven’t heard any stories of anybody noticing any modifications or new options with the 5.16.21 replace, however if you happen to discover any variations with the Kindle Scribe please tell us within the feedback. Amazon used to commonly add new software program options to the Scribe for the primary yr after it got here out, however issues have actually slowed to a crawl on that entrance these days.
Amazon is probably going to launch a few new Kindles quickly so there is perhaps some new options hidden within the newest software program that received’t be activated till the brand new Kindles come out. That would clarify why they’re holding again on the discharge notes these days.
If you wish to replace your Kindle Scribe now you possibly can obtain and manually set up the replace from the Kindle Software program Updates web page at Amazon. Or you possibly can simply watch for the replace to put in by itself in some unspecified time in the future within the close to future.
