@VMurph: We're missing a few bits to actually make sense of the S/N, see https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers
![]() (And, FWIW, that was the OTA build number for the KOA2 & KOA3 initial release of 5.12.4). |

The first six characters of the serial number identify the specific model, including regional variations. The four characters you posted, "G000", are common to several Kindle models. The next two characters will narrow it down. See the link that NiLuJe posted for details. |

![]() Hmmm, maybe I shouldn’t have updated from 5.12.4 to 5.12.5 then. Can you please check whether you can save a custom theme with the dark mode enabled? |

Thanks for the responses. Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply. I’m at a family gathering today, so I’ll post back here with the rest of my info later tonight. (or morning, if I forget)

Do you mean a different version, or the same version but just different build? Quote:
Although, to be honest, I’m kind of curious to find out if the toggle is still there after the update. Quote:

How (or where) would I do that? I’ll look through my settings and see if I can find that setting. EDIT: oops, disregard that last part. I misread your question. I thought you were talking about being able to set a book cover as the sleep screen image. (not sure how I got that, lol) Anyway, yes, I can create and save a new custom theme while in Dark mode. .

Doesn't feel like Amazon will roll this out to entire line of devices
Slowly & Steady to avoid bugs As of now there is No such feature available in Indian Variant with FW 5.12.5 (hope to get this soon) |

I suspect it has little to do with the "variant" (if your device supports it, as in Oasis2 and above and PW4) and is more luck of the draw because this seems like a server-side trollout.

It turns out that not only does dark mode have to be supported by the device as indicated in the deviceConfig.conf file, but in addition it has to be remotely enabled by Amazon in order to appear. The firmware is checking for experiment KINDLE_EINK_DARK_MODE_249201 to be enabled for the user's account. So at this point we are just waiting for Amazon to roll it out more widely and it should be safe for Vmurph to update to the latest firmware. (Personally I am more interested in the feature that displays the current book cover on the lock screen that is also implemented in the firmware, but currently disabled.)

Did you social distance from your family? Did you realize that a family gathering is a very bad idea at this time?
