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. The newer Kindles have a different software version (5.17.1.0.4) than previous gen models (5.17.1.0.3), and the Kindle Colorsoft is still missing from the updates page so it’s not included […]

Kindle Scribe Software Update Adds New Annotation Features
Today is the release date for the new Kindle Scribe 2, and Amazon has released a software update for the first Kindle Scribe that adds the new software features they’re advertising for the Scribe 2. The new software version is 5.17.2, and it’s the biggest update that Amazon has released for the Kindle Scribe in […]
Software Update for New Kindle and New Kindle Paperwhite
Amazon has been releasing a plethora of software updates for Kindles lately, and yet it’s been ages since they actually added any useful new features, but at least they’re fixing some of the bugs that they introduced with previous updates. There’s now a software update available for the new 12th gen Kindle Paperwhite and the […]
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. 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 […]
