Hi all. I'm curious to know if the 11th gen Kindles come with the newer and much-improved 3rd edition of the Oxford Dictionary of English, or do they still come with the 2nd edition?

I saw this post from a user who managed to get Amazon support to manually "push" the 3rd edition to their 10th-gen Kindle device. So I tried the same, but the support agent had no idea what I was talking about

I ended up getting a Kobo which comes with the 3rd edition by default, but have found its MyWords feature to be lacking compared to Kindle's vocabulary builder and have stopped using it.

Would anyone with an 11th gen device be so kind and check the first page of their Oxford Dictionary of English, which shows what edition it is? I'm hoping that Oasis 4 will be announced soon, but this might just convince me to get the latest Paperwhite instead.
