I had a weird experience just now. I am an Amazon Prime subscriber and I just got the list of "First Reads" for May and I selected one ("Homemaker").
I pulled out my trustee Kindle PW1 and transferred the file to Calibre. Calibre was unable to convert the KFX file. The PW1 is on 5.18.1

So I tried the same trick on my Voyage. Its on 5.13.6. The conversion worked.

Both devices always on and wifi is always on. The firmware versions above match what Amazon says are the latest for each--don't ask me why the Voyage, although newer, gets an older software version.

Of course, its possible that my PW1 transfer just hit an unlucky bump.

Anyone else tested 5.18.1 on a book published after April 22?
