Thanks for the pointer, this is like the good old days and it seems to work on my PW5.

The strange thing: I have KOReader installed on multiple Kindles. On my PW4 I get the following:
- In the gear wheel menu under „Taps and Gestures“ I get the „page turns“ menu and a few more menu entries (Links, Scrolling - greyed out, Long-press-on text)
- In the Tools menu under „More Tools“ I am missing Advanced Settings and Developer Options
On my PW5 I get:
- In the gear wheel menu under „Taps and Gestures“ I get no „page turns“ menu and the other additional menus are missing as well
- In the Tools menu under „More Tools“ I get Advanced Settings and Developer Options

Both installations have the same version 2023.10 and if I remember correctly I fully removed the koreader installation when upgrading the firmware (about 1 month ago) on both to the same version 5.16.2.1.1.

Interestingly: On the third Kindle, a PW4 with an older firmware, but the same koreader version I have exactly the same behavior as with the new firmware on the other PW4...

Is this the different hardware, or did I somehow manage to turn on some kind of expert mode on one of the two readers?
