Is there any hidden updates on this patch?

Goodreads doesn't really work with sendtokindle books so I might just wait until Amazon pushes this update to my Kindle.

This has probably been asked elsewhere but I assume the Paperwhite SE takes the 11th Gen Paperwhite update?

Doesn't seem to enable MTP on older Kindles yet?

Lots and lots of binary changes though.

Yes, it's the PW5 (11th Gen).

This patch doesn't turn the PW SE into a MTP device does it?

More detailed description of this change (from https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comm...ration_update/ )

Quote:
In the coming months, we are simplifying the Goodreads experience on Kindle E-reader to focus on helping you keep track of your reading. Once the update occurs, when you go to Goodreads on your Kindle you will immediately see your profile page with your Want to Read, Currently Reading, and Read shelves. This will allow you to more easily view the next book you’d like to read from your Want to Read shelf. Features you know and love like automatically tracking your Kindle books on Goodreads, and rating and reviewing books will continue to be available.

As part of this change, Goodreads will no longer display the updates feed, recommendations, friends list, or friend profile pages within Kindles. The link to Goodreads recommendations from the "Your reading lists" page will also be removed. However, you can still easily access these features on your computer, phone, or tablet after you sign in to your Goodreads account. To view your updates feed, click or tap Updates or Home. To view recommendations, you can find steps for each device in the How do I view recommendations? Help article. To view or update your friends list, you can find steps for each device in the How do I find or invite friends to Goodreads? or How do I unfollow or unfriend someone on Goodreads? Help articles.

To find answers to frequently asked questions, visit Goodreads Help.

It doesn't turn the PaperWhite 10th gen into an MTP device (using Windows 11).

I didn't browse GR on my Kindles anyway due to how slow and limited --- however, if they do default to just show currently reading, read, and "want to read" shelves, it's pointless for me. Many created custom shelves for their TBR when Goodreads made that weird wording change years and years back -- my TBR Pile is not on the generic "Want to read" shelf. At the time I remember the uproar on the now defunct feedback group as it was mixing it up with "wishlist" books at the time.

If it allows other shelves to be selected, then it won't matter much.

I am not turning off Wi-fi for awhile still so probably won't get that update anytime soon anyway.

I would love to know why my Paperwhite seems to get every update within a day or so of the announcement that a new update is available. Admittedly, it is not my primary reader since it was purchased more for testing edited ebooks on a Amazon eInk device than day to day use.

I don't know, if I don't manually update it can take me six months or more for it become active on my devices. It's random. I must be a slow roll out list

The streamlined Goodreads experience loads a lot faster, but for what purpose, it is not clear. It no longer lets you view your Goodreads feed, only the standard three shelves.

Does not matter much, I rarely spent any time with the other stuff, as it was so slow.
