Your post is confusing and I think this is because you didn't really read through all of the posts.
I don't own a PW 1 or 2 anymore. I sold one and gave the other to my Father. BookCat described a UI that doesn't match the UI as I currently know it from my PW 3 and Voyage, which made me think that her PW 2 did not get the same page flip update that the modern Kindles enjoy.
Are you asserting that is incorrect and she merely has to update her firmware? Or are you speculating that if she did update her firmware she would have those features? You do realize that page flip firmware update came out more than a year ago? She would have to keep her Kindle offline in all of that time in order to not have it if it were available. Could be true, some posters do that but I find it unlikely.

My post might be confusing, but not as confusing as claiming that it is related to the hardware model.
The user interface is determined by the firmware not by the hardware.
Her's fits the condition of: "If you have a PW-2 or newer, you
could be running the most current firmware. (>>but you are not, so you can fix it if you wish<<).
I left out the qualifying phrase because I was running low on 'snarky' that day.
Since she did not provide the firmware version or Kindle model, I had to write that carefully to exclude the version(s) that can not provide the page flip feature that other people describe as: "modern kindles"
Yes, it is entirely possible -
I have a KT3 (8th generation Kindle Basic) which is still running the firmware it was originally shipped with on day -1 (I received it the day before the advertised release (day 0) date).
That includes shopping in the Amazon store, having books delivered, syncing the device with my account ...
And yes, I have used the dump messages command (;dm) to dump and read the messages to learn why that is happening.
I know why, but do not want to publicize Lab126's mistake.
