Edit: It doesn't work with the latest firmware on any of my Kindle e-readers. It does work on the PW5 (5.19.2). (I'm referring to KF8/AZW3).
Thanks for the info, it was probably broken in 5.19.3 then for just azw3 since it also introduced some other new bugs. And just to clarify, you are talking about normal reflowable azw3 books and not fixed layout comics/manga?

Also pasting the release notes for the newly added kindles.
