Question Any user recommendations to update from 5.8.7.0.1 on PW3?

From what little I understand, I don't think there's any reason to update from 5.8.7.0.1 to a more recent jailbreakable firmware on my PW3. I cannot find a comprehensive changelog on Amazon's site for all past firmware versions. My PW3 is already jailbroken on 5.8.7.0.1.

But I wanted to check with others, are there any (minor or major) advantages to updating?

If I remember correctly, your current fw version supports kindlets. If you update, you’ll lose it

5.8.11 is the last version that supports kindlets. It also supports adjusting font boldness, so if 5.8.7.0.1 does not, that might be worth doing an update.
