I have decided to wait on installing it for now due to Amazon's recent actions in tightening DRM in the Kindle apps and removing Download & Transfer. I will leave it for others to discover whether or not it contains new DRM or jailbreak mitigation.
Is 5.18.1 inevitable for these newer Kindles or is there a way to block updates (short of never connecting to WiFi).

(My Kindles are all older and no longer receiving updates, so I'm not up on the latest.)
