My 2024 PaperWhite SE updated to 5.20.1
My 2024 kindle PaperWhite SE has automatically been updated to 5.20.1. When I go to Amazon help and search for Kindle software updates all it shows is 5.19.6
Does anyone know what is going on?

Given that Amazon said the BT page turner will work with 2024 Kindles, this could be the firmware that supports the BT page turner.

Can you please confirm that it's 5.20.1.0.1 and not 5.20.1?

If 5.20.1.0.1 is not a typo, you are the very first person to mention it.

Interesting. One acquaintance who was visiting and has a Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and I tried to download the software update since his KSC did show an available update. Evidently despite showing on the Amazon firmware download page, it is not available.

The download URL shows as https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow...ion_5.20.1.bin.
