It’s that time again. Amazon’s Kindle ereaders are getting another round of software updates, and they’re getting a bit carried away with decimal points on this one. The new firmware version is 5.16.10.0.1, and it’s available for all 10th and 11th generation Kindles, as well as the Kindle Scribe. That covers all Kindles released over […]
