Kindle eInk browser user agent strings
Does anyone happen to have a list of User Agent strings for different models and generations of Kindle eInk readers Experimental Web Browsers? I am developing a web server for making Calibre libraries available, and want to make a view specifically targeted at Kindle eInk readers.
Do they all use the same User Agent string as my first gen Kindle Paperwhite? Code:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv71 like Android; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.2+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.2+ Kindle/3.0+ If anyone could share their Kindle model and User Agent string, that would be most helpful. You can find a browser's user agent string by pointing it to https://whatmyuseragent.com/ (note the spelling). Thanks in advance! |

On jailbroken device it can be found in /var/local/mesquite/browser/config.xml. |

I would appreciate if anyone with the most recent stock firmware update on a recent model Kindle eReader could share the User Browser string. E.g. grab it from https://whatmyuseragent.com/
I hear they updated the browser in 5.13.7 and I want to know whether this resulted in a new User Agent string or not. Jailbroken devices are probably on an older version of the browser. |

It is still the same User-Agent value for Kindle PW5 with firmware v5.14.1.1. (so not the latest firmware [but newer than 5.13.7] but it is newest, 11th gen Paperwhite).
