Kindle Software Update 5.18.1 Released With Unusual New Feature
It’s time for another round of software updates for Kindle ereaders and the Kindle Scribe.

Amazon has released a software update, version 5.17.3, for both the 2022 and 2024 Kindle Scribe that adds a new way to write notes within ebooks and Word documents, and it also adds a new visually-distracting icon on the screen that can’t be removed (how fun).

Another Kindle Software Update that Probably Does Nothing
Amazon has released yet another software update for all 10th, 11th and 12th generation Kindles, including the new Kindle and new Kindle Paperwhite models for 2024.

Two More Kindle Software Updates Released
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.
