I wonder if Amazon pulling 5.19.4 is indeed because they messed it up. The font margins have been inverted: Caecilia used to have a bottom margin that left quite a large space, while Bookerly had a much smaller bottom margin. Now with 5.19.4 it's the exact opposite.
Having updated to 5.19.4.0.1 unfortunately the margin issue seems to be unresolved.

I know. This is specific: the change in the height of the bottom margin when using Bookerly, from being close to the bottom of the screen to now being much higher up. This is only since updating to 5.19.4.

Summary of infinite log upload problem:

* Ever since Kindle firmware 5.19.1+, some users have noticed extreme battery drain during sleep.
* Examining the router showed the Kindle was constantly making network requests during sleep, which caused the battery drain
* The problem was caused by these users having an custom DNS on their router, blocking *.minerva.devices.a2z.com which is on a common default blocklist
* Adding this domain to the allowlist fixed the problem of infinite request retries
* This wasn't a problem on 5.18.5

Put your kindle in airplane mode all the time. You will save your battery by a lot. Ever since I started using Kindle's years ago, I've always been offline.

I'm not experiencing significant battery drain during sleep, which appears to be a rare condition, few people use custom DNS I would wager.

I enjoy convenience of having all features available without toggling airplane mode.
