So it looks like you were running a firmware that was quite old, and your Kindle updated. I'm surprised that you were able to keep the older firmware for so long, since you obviously have been keeping your device connected to wifi. Were you using one of the update blocking strategies, and Amazon was able to get around it? If so, which one?

Nope. I was using the latest version of the firmware 5.12.5 and something was changed probably from Amazon side a few days ago. I presume a server side micro update meaning - Not a full scale firmware image. I presume the same goes for the Dark More update.

p.s.
I was the one to post of the forum about the new firmware 5.12.5 so I do pay attention to updates and watch for them from Amazon.

My Kindle will usually run the latest firmware.

It's very odd that your Kindle on 5.12.5 had the email sharing option and mine on 5.12.2 did not, then.

Odd it is. Unless it's not related to the Firmware and Amazon can enable/disable that feature or any other on that list like Twitter and Facebook as well from their side.
