The effort isn’t wasted. Exploits are always patched once Amazon finds out about them.

But 5.19.3 has been pulled. So downloading it won't work. That's the problem.

Copies exist and can be made available if needed.

Edit: Thank you for all the files!

Only need the 5.19.3 update bin for the Scribe 2025 Black and white version!

And maybe the PW 11 if someone downloaded it in the short timeframe it was available.

Edit: got scribe 3! So all of them.

Finally finished another video where I discuss all available solutions for bug filled Kindles updates 5.19.2, 5.19.3 regarding USB / side loaded MOBI AZW3 manga.

This video is ONLY manga focused, but it discusses stuff like account based bugs that may interest people in general.

It also discusses more bugs found since my last video and explains better some things glossed over previously.

TLDR:

If you are on 5.18 or earlier, airplane mode to avoid problems. (5.19 and 5.19.1 were 2025 scribe exclusive)

If you are on 5.19.2, logout and stay logged out, but this deletes all data but solves all problems. Alternatively, you can make a new Amazon account and log in with that but airplane mode immediately.

If you want 5.19.3, it fixes death margins while logged in with wifi on but adds other problems, so it's a trade off that might not be worth it.

Did anyone notice that UI reverted to the "old" format with 5.19.3?

I much prefer the old format. I'll probably stay on 5.19.3 with airplane mode on forever...

If you still have the extremely rare PW 11 5.19.3 update bin file, I would love to see it.

Also thank you everyone, I have acquired all files besides the mythical PW 11.

Also, I've kind of forgotten what you mean by old format. Pics? I personally didn't update.
