Hi all, as a new member, it seems I am unable to post, but thought to take the opportunity to participate in this thread since it is somewhat germane to what I wanted to I ask.

You all seem to be going back and forth about the merits of recent firmware. As a new owner of two Voyages (beautiful machines, by the way) which are currently on 5.8.9 and 5.10.1.1, I was wondering whether there was a way to access all versions of firmware for this device (since Amazon seems to list just the latest). The reason I am seeking this out is that I've heard that the more recent firmware revisions have posed some issues with, for example, covers not showing, send-to-kindle difficulties, and -- as I was reading in this very thread -- battery drain.

Is there a consensus on what the optimal firmware version would be to sit on for Kindles, and Voyages, in particular?

Many thanks in advance for your help. I hope to be an active member in this forum for the foreseeable future!
