Amazon has been releasing software updates for Kindles at what feels like an unprecedented pace. This latest update is version 5.18.5.0.1, and it’s available for all 11th and 12th gen Kindles, along with the Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Scribe.

Big Sale on Various Kindle Models and Kindle Bundles
Amazon has started rolling out a bunch of early deals on various products, including Kindle ereaders and the Kindle Scribe.

New DRM Added to Kindles with 5.18.5 Update, Breaking DRM Removal
It looks like Amazon is closing off one of the last remaining methods that allows people to remove the DRM from their purchased Kindle ebooks, locking down the Kindle platform even more than it’s ever been before with a new type of DRM for Kindle devices.
