My accidental (PEBKAC FUBAR) firmware update COMPLETELY changed my GUI. For example, the frontlight slider is not vertical anymore, but now horizontal, and buried in a "gear" settings icon, instead of having its own "lightbulb" icon. And big changes to the way the library works too; no more "Cloud | Device" selector, for example. And tapping the power button does not completely wake it -- now you have to "swipe to unlock kindle" to view the GUI (like an apple device).
And just to do the right thing, I returned the 135 books on this used device, before deregistering it, so the original family (account owner different name than device owner) can download those books onto a different device (without risk of exceeding license count). It was the right thing to do...
EDIT: Or maybe not? This kindle has a new document addressed to the ACCOUNT owner (not the kindle owner) saying "You returned this Kindle Owner's Lending Library book on May 17, 2014". Weird date; today is May 14, 2016. Not sure what's up with that. There were NO "[Returned]" books before, and now about a dozen of them on this device. Still learning how this kindle library stuff works. I mostly view side-loaded PDF files on my kindles, when I actually use them as an ebook reader...
Now, I will try plugging my USB sound dongle in on this PW2 I just received, which has the latest firmware.
EDIT: Nope. No sound device. Maybe only on a PW3 or newer, or a DIFFERENT USB dongle?
