A couple weeks ago Amazon released a software update, version 5.17.1, for 10th and 11th gen Kindles, but the new Kindles were left out, and so was the Kindle Scribe. Amazon released two more software updates this week, one for the Kindle Scribe and one for the new basic Kindle for 2024. But the new […]

New Software Updates Available for All Kobo eReaders
Kobo has started rolling out software updates for their line of ereaders, and unlike the last update that was only available for their new models, this one is available for pretty much all of them (except the few models they no longer update, like the Kobo Mini and the first couple of non-touchscreen Kobos). It […]
Kindle Software Update Version 5.17.1 Released
Amazon has been releasing software updates for Kindles more frequently lately, and they’ve just released another one for 10th and 11th generation Kindles, and they even updated the release notes for a change (they still got the month wrong, but we’ll give them a break on that). The new software version is 5.17.1, and it […]
Software Update Now Available for Kindle Scribe
Amazon has finally released the latest software update (well, the second latest, technically) for the Kindle Scribe, so now it’s running the same software version as other recent Kindles (except the 10th generation Kindle Oasis). The new software version is 5.16.21. About a month ago Amazon released the 5.16.21 software update for all 10th and […]
Software Update for Kindle Oasis 3 – Another Peculiar Update
Amazon has released yet another Kindle software update, and so far it’s only available for the 10th generation Kindle Oasis, which is rather odd. Amazon usually updates all 10th and 11th gen Kindles at the same time, and the Kindle Scribe is usually updated concurrently as well, but the Scribe was left out of the […]
Software Update Released for Latest Kobo eBook Readers
If you picked up one of the new Kobo ereaders that were released earlier this year, there’s now a new software update available for them. The new firmware version is 4.40.23081, and it’s available exclusively for the Kobo Libra Colour, the Kobo Clara Colour, and the Kobo Clara BW. Kobo usually updates all of their […]
New Kindle Software Update 5.16.21 Released
Exactly one month ago to the day, Amazon released a software update for Kindles that introduced a lot of bugs and random problems, but now there’s a new software update available that hopefully fixes most of those issues. The new software update version is 5.16.21, and it’s available for all 10th and 11th generation Kindles, […]
Kindle Software Update Released, with Changes to Your Lists
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 […]
