I am not sure if this is new to this update or new to me noticing but I love it when you long click on a collection name it gives you the total number in the collection along with the counts of how many are on the device and how many are in the cloud.

I do not see the 5.4.3 on my PW2 yet. Is this pushed in waves or does it usually come down right away?

It is always pushed in waves, but you can download and install manually, see here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=201307490

Did anyone else notice that the Vocabulary Builder has been downgraded so that side loaded books can not use this feature?

"Note: Vocabulary Builder currently supports content purchased from Amazon.com and personal documents sent through the Send to Kindle application or Kindle Personal Document Service. It does not currently support personal documents that were transferred to your device via USB. To learn more, go to Send Documents and Web Pages to Your Kindle."

Also, for those that use it, Goodreads is still only working for Amazon purchased content and the cloud sync pop up when creating a new collection is still not fixed.
Besides these points, its not a horrible update.

Same fix as for the nags, then. @nynaevelan was able to manually edit the ASIN of sideloaded books to match the official Amazon copies, thus tricking the Kindle into thinking it's an Amazon book, thus...

Can anybody else confirm that Vocabulary Builder doesn't work on sideloaded books on 5.4.3?

My books side loaded before still work with vocabulary builder, I haven't tried sideload new books.

I just tested this again using the last book I read before the 5.4.3 update and Vocabulary Builder works on that book. The book I am reading now doesn't work. Both were loaded prior to the update. Any ideas?

Would you share how to edit the ASIN?

This is the tool I use, it is a manual process done individually on each file: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...bi+meta+editor

Easiest way is to edit it in Calibre.
