I manually updated my ColorSoft 16gig this morning to 5.20.1. The new updates are on the Amazon website now.

My new Basic is still on 5.20.1.0.1. No release notes so no idea what’s different.

The release notes don't mention the page turner.

Interestingly, Kindle Scribe 2022 got the update even though the clicker says 2024+


KSC notes, which is a superset of all other models:
Quote:
Version 5.20.1 – September 2026

Here's what's new:

Dictate with microphone: Use your voice to type in Kindle Scribe. Tap the microphone icon on the keyboard to dictate text in Search, book and document annotations, and notebook names.

Handwritten Sticky Notes (Fixed Layout): You can now add handwritten sticky notes in fixed layout eBooks or personal documents. Use the sticky note tool in the writing toolbar or select text and use the action menu.

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements.

There's a post on reddit that claims it also adds a toggle for the auto-snap shapes on Scribes. It's been sorely needed. If you linger at all then it tries to create a shape or line. I'm sure being able to turn it off when you aren't trying to draw clean shapes will help the battery life a bit, too, since it'll be doing much less processing.

Maybe it has to something to do with the fact that clickers are actually incoming late November? According to posts on reddit from those who ordered them

Anyone know if this update fixes full refresh not working in normal azw3 books?

Also, is anyone willing to test this mobi manga file on 5.20.1 and tell me if

1) full refresh works
2) % read works and marks as read at the end instead of getting stuck at 100%
3) the Aa menu has a "virtual panels" option that works. double tap zooms into a corner.

these features were all broken previously.
