My Oasis and my Scribe are both on 5.16.8 and I just noticed there’s a (new?) “Software Update” menu item in the “Device Options” section (might be slightly different name as my Kindles are set to another language). I don’t remember this, and indeed it’s not available on my Voyage (stuck on 5.13.6). Was this added recently? I might have just missed it.
Also it doesn’t seem to work; clicking on the menu item brings a pop-up window claiming that the device is running the latest version of the software, on both devices, which is incorrect as 5.16.9 is officially out and available for manual download from the Amazon website. I know Amazon likes to roll out automatic updates in batches and not all at once, yet I would hope that if the option is given to the user to actively check for software updates, then the actual latest update would be available for download directly on the device when that option is used.
