I forgot one other thing they need to fix: if you have a linked Audible account, audiobooks show up in Archived items. It is extremely easy to tap one of those accidentally, and initiate download. Some audiobooks are more than a gigabyte, downloading may take hours. They need to add a 'confirm' dialog, or provide a way to cancel the download. This is also possible on K3 but with the 5way the potential for 'accidents' is much less.

(If this happens to you, do a system restart. That seems to do the trick.)

I would not mind if they had a preference to disable audiobook download entirely.

While they are at it, they should change the download format for Kindle to '4', which would save nearly 50% storage and bandwidth over 'enhanced'. I've never understood their decision to use enhanced, given Kindle's relatively paltry and unexpandable storage, not to mention lack of audio quality.
