I haven't found any bugs with the new firmware. I have one personal document of my own Bible Notes and have not found any problems with it.

AccuWeather had been drawing more juice per BBBM but I changed its setting to update only once every 60 minutes instead of once every 15 minutes and now it hardly uses any juice.

I got about 5.5 hours of reading before a recharge was required at 15% before the upgrade and I get about the same now.

I had noticed BBBM malfunctioning after the upgrade. I first deleted all its data, uninstalled it and re-installed it including the new icon. It now works just fine. Its overlay icon was using the one for Ice Cream which I don't have. That was causing the overlay icon to always show a black zero on a white background. Now I have the proper one for the Kindle Fire and it works fine.

My Launcher uses only 0.3% and my Amazon Kindle (the eReader) uses 12.3% which I would expect.

Its possible that some, having lots of bugs, rooted the Kindle Fire or are using non-Amazon Store android apps.
