- after week 33 - 5.14.3+

Week 24 - checked 2 devices. Week 26 - 1 device, so could be a one-off.

Can anyone help with determining the "switch date" to the newer FW? Please post the firmware version (out of the box, before updates) and check your Serial number (or post it here without last 4 symbols). The date is determined by 4 digits: G001LG122285xxxx (YWWD - year 2 week 28 day 5).

I have a few of week 27-28 Paperwhites, want to be somewhat sure about their firmware without opening the box. Thanks in advance.
