Kindle 5.19.2 software is available
Kindle firmware 5.19.2 is available in amazon page

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW

Version 5.19.2 – February 2026

Here's what's new:

Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive: Added a Settings option to control whether imported files from your cloud drive are shared across your Kindle devices. Go to Settings>Connections to learn more.

Send to Alexa+: You can now send your notes and documents on your Kindle Scribe to Alexa+ to summarize, ask questions, and brainstorm. Get more out of your notes - even when away from your Scribe.

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements.

Those release notes are only available for the most recent Scribe, so I wonder if the new workplaces are truly only available to the latest device. That would be unlike amazon.

I was hoping this would fix the blank pages for sideloaded manga/comics using KCC on my colorsoft scribe. Still no luck.

I really wonder if they are purposely doing this...

There were some blank page issues even with some comics from Kindle Store that had not been updated to KFX from AZW3. Someone on Reddit claimed they had been fixed (by some server side thing) but I have not confirmed it. Of course that would likely have no effect on side-loaded content.

Perhaps you could file issue with KCC people to see if they can develop a workaround.

I do not use KCC much, prefer using Kindle Create and KFX Output plugin for KFX side load. No issues with this.

The other option is to generate PDF and send that via Send To Kindle (if it is less than 200MB). As a bonus, you'll be able to draw on it! The downside is that print replica does not support 2 page display so you cannot view 2 page spreads (in landscape). But I think AZW3 fixed layout does not support it either (IIRC).

Yeah, that method takes a lot longer which is why I prefer kcc.

After updating it last night I did notice a lot more stability in the pages. I was actually able to finish a comic last night without any blank pages after refreshing it twice in the beginning.

Hopefully it becomes more stable with further updates ..

Anyone else noticed that fonts now show a date of 2011-Apr-05? Which is a bit strange considering all the copyright dates I looked at are after that date.

there are features in the past that are not available on older devices. As more variety of devices are launched, it would be difficult to give to all devices. It is going to be a wait-and-watch game!

The Bookerly font was introduced to Amazon Kindle devices in
May 2015 for iOS apps and officially released for E-Ink Kindles (starting with the Paperwhite 3) around June 17, 2015. It was later rolled out to older devices like the Kindle Voyage and Kindle 7th Gen via firmware updates in August 2015.

^^ From Google. I am lost!

I see. Going back it looks like the dates were good in firmware 5.18.5 and became wrong in 5.18.6. Odd.

I have not yet had time to look over this update for other changes. Hopefully in the next few days.

Has anyone with a jailbroken Kindle tried it yet? Did the jailbreak survive and do apps (such as KOReader) still work afterwards?

"Correct" time stamps for files in some container depend on the POV of whoever is doing the distribution. But it looks like amazon is not being consistent, which is consistent with their MO.
