Do you know I can't even get x-ray to work on the KF6. Maybe I'm overlooking something but I've yet to find it. Works fine on my Fire Phone.

I have (or had last time I tried) the same issues with Immersion Reading on my Fire Phone (stupid 'go to location' pop ups when switching modes, frequently engages TTS instead of immersion) that I have on my HD8 (2017), and it doesn't support the typography improvements, page flip, or pop up footnotes. I have to Sync reading position explicitly or it won't pick up the location established on another device. And it is sad they never fixed Scroll mode, which remains all but unusable (and can't be used with TTS or Immersion). So I don't read on it any more except when there is no other device available. It was a great bargain when I bought it ($99 plus a year of Prime) but it is getting a little senile and I will be getting an iPhone before too long.
Immersion reading is better with the Android or iOS app, as it all happens within the same app, doesn't have the 'right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing' issues, and removes the companion along with the book when you are done reading (where Fire devices make you remove them separately). The Audible app is better as well (you can mark things as 'read' and filter them out of the library views).
Not sure what is up with X-Ray, works perfectly on my HD8 and pretty sure on my HD6 as well. My HD6 went through a period of weeks/months where it was unable to get component updates (which are not part of System updates, and for which there is no 'manual' procedure to coerce). Page Flip, for example, was not there. Then all of a sudden the component updates started flooding in and have not had issues since (except that performance is poor). So maybe something like that is going on. I'll see what the Kindle app version is running on my HD8 and post that later so you can compare.
