Hi everyone,

And thank you for your answers. The updated firmware results in the text looking different on the screen, and causing me eye problems/brain fog, whereas I did not have them before. I do not know the nature of the changes that result in this effect. I would like to find a used Kindle that has an older version of firmware, because I expect these older versions will be OK for me (as my Kindle used to be before the update).

This is independent of the appearance of the Home Screen. I do not like the new Home Screen, and I did make the change in the preferences which modifies the Home Screen slightly (I still don't like it). But my not liking the Home Screen, or the general appearance of the Home Screen, is a different issue. Along with the new Home Screen, the new firmware results in a different appearance of the text of books and documents on the screen. It is this second matter that causes me the problem.

As to why it causes me the problem, how could a new firmware cause this problem, etc., this is a different and interesting topic (and probably difficult to answer).

I am hoping for advice on how to find a used Kindle with an older firmware that has not been updated for around 2 years or more.

Is there an old Kindle build that is no longer supported by Amazon, for example, that would not have received updates in many years despite being connected to wifi?

Or an old Kindle build that has no wi-fi capability?

If any of you know or might be able to help further, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
