I only ever sideload my books and I always have my Kindle Paperwhite 4 on airplane mode. That's why I didn't realize there were new updates and I'm still on 5.13.1. And thank goodness for that!

I really don't like the new layout, so I'm going to keep this firmware.

Now I was wondering if I ever want to buy a new Kindle, could I put it on airplane mode after installing and then manually install 5.13.6?

I downloaded 5.13.6 on the Kindle software page for the Voyage. And that's my next question. Would it be possible to install this Voyage firmware on a Paperwhite? I don't know if that would be an issue or not.

I don't know if someone already asked this here. I looked for it, but couldn't find it. So I appologize if I've started a double thread.
