Firmware 5.3 on Kindle Touch
So the Paperwhite has been out for a while, has anyone been able to port the new firmware (or at least the new features) to the Kindle Touch?
I am particularly interested in the time-to-read feature. |

As eureka wrote, the Time-to-read feature is already there on the 5.1.2 firmware, it's just hidden.
Concerning running 5.3.x on the Touch: forget it. I tried it, and it doesn't even get past the early boot stage. The hardware is too different, as is the software. |
