...and without introducing new problems.

That's a bit over optimistic.

5.19.3 software is released. I see it in https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW

Release notes for Scribe

Version 5.19.3 – March 2026

Here's what's new:

Improved USB-transferred PDFs: PDFs transferred to Kindle via USB now support latest reading features, including text selection, highlights, notes, and improved navigation. On Kindle Scribe, you can write directly on your PDFs. On Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, PDFs display in color.

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements.

should we create a new topic for 5.19.3?

I saw this conf file and felt funny that Amazon guys are launching rockets..hehe..

# This configuration launches the KindleDocumentIndexerService on
# the note-taking E-reader devices while skipping execution on all
# other E-readers.
# To run the service on these remaining E-readers, remove the
# else statement (below).
pre-start script
source /etc/upstart/env
source /etc/upstart/functions
if [[ "$SHOULD_SKIP_X_PRELAUNCH" == "true" ]]; then
f_log I KindleDocumentIndexerService "[All systems engage...]"
else
# Do not launch the KindleSyncService
f_log I KindleDocumentIndexerService "[Skipping execution...]"
exit 1;
fi
end script

script
source /etc/upstart/env
source /etc/upstart/functions
f_log I KindleDocumentIndexerService "[Firing thrusters...]"
exec nice -n 19 /app/bin/KindleDocumentIndexerService
end script

Then I saw something (KindleSyncService) and was wondering. I found another file and I am laughing now...hehe..

pre-start script
source /etc/upstart/env
source /etc/upstart/functions

if [ ! -f "${DEMO_FILE_PATH}" ]; then
f_log I KindleSyncService "[All systems engage...]"
else
# Do not launch the KindleSyncService
f_log I KindleSyncService "[Skipping execution...]"
exit 1;
fi
end script

script
source /etc/upstart/env
source /etc/upstart/functions
f_log I KindleSyncService "[Firing thrusters...]"
exec /app/bin/KindleSyncService
end script
