Paperwhite Firmware Question
Kind of a newbie question but I just bought a new 6.8" 11th Gen Paperwhite. It came with Firmware version 5.14.0.1. If I want to apply the new firmware patches can I jump right to the newest (5.15.1) or should I bite the bullet and do each and every one of the firmware releases in turn?

Kindle updates are full images (have been for... quite a while now), so, yeah, you can skip ahead.

A potential concern would be jumping to a JB-friendly version first and apply that, even if you don't plan on using it, because it can't hurt .
