Thanks for response. It has to be the new firmware. If I transfer the same book (USB from Calibre) to both devices, the one with firmware 5.15 shows page number but the one with firmware 5.16 doesn’t. This happens with some books but not with others. It’s not a major issue for me, but - curious...
As I’ve said before, the only thing really wrong with the kindle ereader is Amazon!
I stick with it because the Oasis is, for me, ergonimically & aesthetically perfect. But once it’s registered, that’s the end of its asscociation with Amazon. It’s permanently on airplane mode and all my books are acquired as epubs then converted & USB loaded with Calibre.
