Well, I've got a strange question.

I use 5.3.4 + JBpatch now.

However, from JBpatch, I really really need the "margin settings" only (I set very very narrow left/right/top/bottom margins, especially for PDF files).

Now my question is ... what are the "margins" (especially for "PDF" files) in 5.3.9?
The "feature enhancements" claim "Improved PDF Performance" and "Hide Reading Progress Option", so maybe I could abandon JBpatch.

yes you can abandon JBpatch, v5.3.9 does not have these PDF features you need.

Many thanks for your reply.

However, I don't really understand your statement.

I would expect ... either ..
"yes, you can abandon JBpatch, v5.3.9 has these PDF features you need"
... or ...
"NO, you canNOT abandon JBpatch, v5.3.9 does NOT have these PDF features you need"

So, what do you really mean?

Shame they don't allow you to have the novel option of displaying what the page progress is with books that support them, then again it is a bigger shame that the PW1 has not received any of the main software features of the PW2 such as the improved footnote presentation as I am in the middle of the newest Discworld book and Pratchett does love his footnotes.

Can I get software updates over wifi? "Update this device" is grayed out. Do I have to plug into the computer?

Thanks,

Yes, Amazon pushes updates out over time so if you just leave your wifi on your Kindle will eventually automatically update on its own.... if you are in more of a rush, you can go to Amazon and download the update to your computer, sideload it via USB and then tell your Kindle to update via the menu>settings route.
(if update your Kindle is grayed out, that means there is no update currently loaded on your Kindle)

Give it a flipping chance - the PW2's only been out a few weeks. It generally takes several months for software updates to migrate down the food-chain.

5.3.9 changed nothing regarding that PDF hideous bottom margin.

Thanks for the post.

I'm updating as we speak. Not that it's really necessary right now, but sometimes new firmwares also have undocumented bugfixes. (Or undocumented bugcreations.... )

I can't imagine why anyone would like to completely disable reading progress. If I'd do that, I'd feel I was reading into oblivion. There is no sense of where you are in the book.

In a paper book, you'd obviously have the left and right stacks of paper, even without page numbers.

I found that I read to understand when I completely disable reading progress as to reading just to know about what the plot is.

On the PW2, if you swipe up, it displays a progress bar. Has anyone tried this with the PW1, both before and after this new update?
