I don't think the 'Hyperlink Preview' feature is working yet. Has anyone noticed this?

Have any brave souls with a jailbroken Kindle tried this new firmware yet?

If so did the jailbreak survive and do things like KOReader still work?

I have only seen one or two reports on Kindle Modding Community’s discord that 5.18.6 only makes MTP hide the ads folder, but existing JB survived. Not sure what devices though

It is now available. Took Amazon a month to enable it. You need to connect to Wi-Fi so that Amazon can enable it on your device.

I have noticed that custom dictionaries that are placed in documents/dictionaries folder end up in the library and Your recent items list, but are not listed in dictionaries list in settings or when looking up a word. This just started happening with 5.18.6. Has anyone else experienced this?

Dictionaries added prior to the update work just fine.

With 5.18.6, are sideloaded KF8/KFX eBooks a problem?

I am seeing it on my Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, running 5.19.1. But not on 5.18.6.

I've seen report on Reddit that 'older' comics (purchased from Comixology?) download as AZW3 and have rendering issues. I'd expect same if side loading AZW3 comics as well, but have not tried it myself.

Have not had issues with KFX side loaded, or reports of issues.

How about actual eBooks and not comics? How about KF8? KFX?

I used a couple of AZW3 fixed layout books gathered when D&T via USB feature still existed.

I have verified that AZW3 comics have issues on Scribe Colorsoft and not 2022 Scribe, or Kindle Colorsoft. It appears to be some issue with refresh on the KSC, which is running 5.19.1. It displays as black over the entire image. If you force refresh (e.g. tap at top of page) then page displays as expected.

In this case the title still only downloads as AZW3, and has the same issues.

With another side loaded fixed layout AZW3 (mixed image and text) many pages just display as white, and I could not get page refresh to render them except in page flip mode. No problem on 2022 Scribe.

This is or was available in KFX, and the download of that format behaves as expected. (initially page images didn't scale up, but closing and reopening book made that go away)

I side loaded 'actual books' in KF8 and KFX, those are fine. But these use a completely different rendering system.

So it's an issue with 5.19.1 likely, at least with KSC (we'll see if issue affects any others if and when they get updated).
