11th Gen Kindles did not receive updates 5.19.3+, they were stuck on 5.19.2. I am specifically referring to side loaded manga/comic files in the mobi/azw3 formats.
In the past day, I've received 4+ reports from people with 11th gen Kindles saying that all the bugs they experienced in Kindle update 5.19.2 like manga death margins vanished after connecting to WiFi! It appears Amazon is remote deactivating whatever feature caused all your bugs!
They got no more laggy page turns, older Kindle UI, fixed text selection bugs, and older dictionary UI too.
Here are quotes of the reports:

I can also confirm that after turning wifi back on the problems of death margin and incorrect text selection got solved and the dictionary UI got reverted back to pre-5.18.6 (definitely not 5.18.6 because I have another 11th gen PW on 5.18.6)

I used to leave my kindle in airplane mode, and out of curiosity, last night I left the wifi on. This morning I started reading and miraculously, the borders were gone. I hope it works for everyone. I confirm, I have the 11th gen and I still have version 5.19.2

Absolutely everything is fixed. Everything is just like it was in version 5.18. I've activated airplane mode to avoid any potential problems in the future. I think a large part of the device's slowness with the new version was due to the interface. It's truly amazing to see how much faster the device is compared to 5.19.2.

I was currently reading some manga I added via USB about a month ago. When I opened the books, I noticed the interface and reading speed had reverted to normal. When I opened the manga, the margin and reading speed issues were resolved. These aren't new files; they're months old, as I mentioned. I'll check what happens with any I add from now on, but it seems my Kindle has reverted to version 5.18. And yes, it's a basic 2022 version.

Since version 5.19.2 appeared, I had several problems on my 2022 Kindle Basic. New interface that made the device noticeably slower, white margins on the 4 sides of the screen in manga, slow page turning, and broken reading counter.
Last night all that was solved by itself. The version of the device is still 5.19.2. but everything seems exactly the same as the 5.18 that there was before this disastrous version. Good news, I guess. I have activated the airplane mode as fast as I could to prevent problems from appearing again. If anyone reading this is in the same situation as me, activate airplane mode before the possibility of it breaking again occurs.

But be careful in case Amazon decides to re-break it, maybe this was unintentional.
