I read these forums quite often and haven't seen anything about this here, so I thought I'd post it. I hope it's not a repost.

The original Paperwhite got a firmware update to version 5.3.9 recently.

It doesn't seem to have much for me, but maybe some others will like the updates:

Hide Reading Progress Option
While reading, tap the bottom left of the screen to switch between four reading progress options, including Location in book, Time left in chapter, Time left in book, and None, which hides your reading progress from the bottom of the screen. To learn more, go to View Your Reading Progress.

Improved PDF Performance
General performance and stability improvements for PDF files.

Improved Homonym Lookup in Chinese and Japanese
When you look up a word that has multiple meanings for the same spelling (homonym), you can view a full list of the available definitions from within the dictionary definition window.
