Filter "Kindle Unlimited" on the home (start) sceen. In V 5.13.2 and 5.13.3 (Kindle Voyage, two, one set to German one set to English).
I hope you don't mean the library filter when browsing in library is gone?

Cannot say for sure, never used that, as I am not using a library.
What I mean is:
Start-Screen (Home) -> Menu Filter -> List of items you can filter.
Read
Unread
Books
... etc.
Kindle unlimited
was also in that list, but they changed it.
Even with the labels of the books from Kindle Unlimited I find it convenient, as I tend to cancel my subscription (free offers have dried up) and want to read books before it ends.

In that list nothing says library, but that may be, because I have no library account. But as collections is there and greyed out, on this Kindle I do not have collections, it is not there, or it is on another place in the settings/menue.

Sorry, my fault for wording things awkwardly and not being more clear. I mean when you are in the Kindle homepage, then click "your library", then filter. I loved when they added the KU filter to that, so hopefully it's still there.

Nice one we seem to wander around each others misunderstandings.

But that was my complaint, the KU filter is gone in the 2 (at least) latest Kindle firmware updates 5.13.3 and 5.13.2, and with the automatic installation of the update, there is little chance of going back to an earlier version - if that is even possible ?
Amazon should know that, I will look into reporting that, but knowing how hidden such things are, and how long a solution might take, I will not invest too much work & hope.

I am running firmware 5.13.3 on an Oasis 2 and still see Kindle Unlimited under filters. It probably won't show if your subscription has lapsed.

Thanks for the fast reply, the KU entry was gone even before it lapsed, and I was only without KU a few days around prime day (a few blogs promised a free KU deal), I got a "3 months for the price of 1" deal, which I took, so yes, I have KU. But it is still gone (I thought maybe it took a while to register).
... a few minutes later

Interesting glitch, I got Filter Kindle Unlimited back on one of Voyage-Kindles (German, where I have Kindle Unlimited and the 10 ebooks I am allowed to borrow):
Settings - Device Options - Advanced Options -
Home & Library - Home Screen View (was off)
turned on.
Your Library appears on Home screen, tap it, and can now set the filter to Kindle Unlimited.
turned Home Screen View (off) again, and Kindle Unlimited is still available to filter.

On my other Kindle (US, set to english) it is still missing, but as I do not have Kindle Unlimited registered in the US, that is ok and logical to be left out -although Comics still is there, greyed out and (0) as count, they could have taken every entry out with 0 count?! Probably too much work.

Big thank you!
That helped a lot to talk to someone and try different things, would not have thought of that.

If you read further in this thread you see that I have it back, it seems to be a glitch.
Solved by toggling the "Home Screen View":

turned on.
"Your Library" appears on Home screen, tap it, and I can now set the filter to Kindle Unlimited.

But that is not the view I want, so I turned it off again, and "Kindle Unlimited" still appears in the Filter list, so for me it is ok now, just weird. Thanks to jhowell!

I'm glad to hear it's just a glitch as it's a feature I use.

Thanks for this. I also don’t like Home Screen view, it would not have occurred to me that it would have anything to do with the KU filter being there or not. I wonder how many Kindle users even know the option exists, which would make this a somewhat obscure issue.

I finally manually updated tonight after getting impatient it wouldn't finally pick up the update. My paperwhites haven't either, but I at least updated the Oasis manually.

I've never noticed this before.

I opened a book, and when the "About this Book" comes up, by Goodreads it now says On my profile as : custom. I don't this custom was an option before? It would let me choose currently reading, want to read, read, etc., but I don't recall custom, especially as the default.

Not sure if it's my imagination but battery life on my Oasis seems much better on this firmware. Been using it for a while now

I haven't had it long enough to test but would be nice if that were true for me as well.
