Well 5.7.2 here and it looks like on this picture (external link) Directlink to picture In case the picture won't load go here and click one of the three pictures at the bottom (above the word "Zitat"). allesebook This changes happened somewhere when 5.6.x got introduced. Thought this is a general "wanted" behaviour from Amazon. So my apologizes to the initial poster! |

@Axanar: Turn off "Word wise" feature and the % will go back to bottom right.

Interesting, I never used word wise on mine and I kind of like having both items on the left. But for me it always shows word wise on the right. Unlike the picture posted where it doesn't.

Only works if you haven't updated to 5.7.2 yet. Shari |

I can't be the only one who hates the new keyboard design.
What on Earth possessed them to remove the key borders? It looks horrible- not to mention how much of an accessibility disaster it is. |

I find the new keyboard much more responsive. On the previous one I often had to tap a key two or three times to get a response, now it's nearly always responsive on the first press.

Change of behaviour with side loaded AZW3 Files
An interesting change I noticed on the new 5.7.2.
If I generate an AZW3 in Calibre with the Option to Enable Sharing of Book Content, and sideload the book directly, (ie. copy the file into the folder myself, rather than send to device through the Calibre Driver.), the Kindle now generates it's own cover thumbnail, instead of using the blank "Personal Document" placeholder. I forget exactly what that option does to the distinguish the book as a personal document rather than an Amazon book, but this might the the solution to people who noticed that their sideloaded covers are getting overwritten by Amazon. |

If the book is a Personal Document, it has always generated the cover itself.
But apparently, in fw5.7.2, Kindles no longer uses the highly irritating "Personal" banner on the bottom, the avoidance of which is the main reason for embedding a fake ASIN. |

I've never gotten a personal AZW3 document to generate a thumbnail. I've tried with 3 different books on my PW3 today while testing the above post. Works perfectly on the 5.7.2 PW2, but empty square on the older firmware. (I thought the fake ASIN was so synching on multiple devices magically worked.) |

Traditionally, anything that had the "Personal" banner at the bottom would also generate a thumbnail from the embedded cover.
I never used fake ASIN syncing but I thought it broke at some point??? |

Fake ASIN sync between two Kindle eReaders works only for old mobi format, for azw3/kf8 you get an error. Also you can't sync even sideloaded "old mobi" between Kindle eReader and Kindle for Android because Android app doesn't show sync button if the book is not added/archived to you PDOCs Cloud archive. Valid ASIN or fake ASIN doesn't make a difference, as long as you don't have that ASIN associated with your Amazon account there will be no sync option/button in Android app.
