I'm not going jump the gun and download it even if they claim it is an important security fix again. Once burned...

For those without the update, this is the description:

Quick View: You can now read details about a book in a quick view without leaving the page you are on. Additional actions are available from the three-dot memo on the top right corner of the quick view.

Okay, so when tapping top of screen, I do see full title of books, and at bottom the name of current chapter, page x of y | do minutes left in chapter | dd%. Maybe these are considered ‘details about a book’? I think this layout might be new. Didn’t it used to go to page flip when you tapped at top? It still goes into page flip mode when you swipe up from bottom about an inch, and from this ‘book details’ view, if that’s what it is, you can tap on the page flip buttons at bottom.

Discover books card: Find your next read by filtering books by genre and category using the Discover Books card.

This I have no clue about. Sounds cool, but where is it? Is this to ‘find your next read’ among the books you have already purchased (which is what I’d like it to be) or to point you at books in Kindle Store?
From the description it seems there should be another icon or something next to the Filters or Sort By icons when viewing Library, in order to open this Discover Books card. But there’s nothing, and 5.14.3 has been out for awhile now.
But…what a ridiculous version label. 5.14.3.0.1. It’s 1/100th of a minor update, don’t you know?
