The real question is why was 5.9.2 released for the 7th gen PaperWhite? My best guess is that 5.8.11 had a serious bug that applied only to that model.
Would the 7th Gen Paperwhite firmware also apply to the Manga edition Kindle? Other than a serious bug, the only other explanation I can think of would be to make room on a Manga edition to download Manga files since they can be large like audiobooks.
