On my Scribe, html5test.com gives it a score of 467/555. It says 'You are using Silk 80.4 on an Amazon Kindle Fire'.

My Fire HD 10 Plus scores 474/555. 'Silk 118.1 on a KFTRPWI running Android 9'.

I would be curious what Kindles which have not been updated show, as well as results from other sites that test browser capabilities.

Wonder if one can login to Libby, cloud services etc. now too, and what kind of content can be downloaded if any (.mobi? .pdf? .azw3? .kfx?).

Answer: '.AZW, .PRC, .MOBI, or .TXT'. MOBI needs to be 'both' I think (at least 'new'/KF8 only does not work, 'old' probably will).
