Amazon has released a new software update for Kindle ereaders. It’s been nearly 5 months since the last software update was released so it’s been quite a bit longer than usual.

Unfortunately it seems to be a random issue and there doesn’t appear to be a way to recover notes after this happens. Obviously […]
