I installed it and it looks good.
The font size slider now has 14 choices, there were 8 previously. Much better for picking a size that I like. Before I had to choose between a little to small or a little to large. The boldness slider with 5 settings works well also. Added: One thing I noticed is that Bookerly at a given size setting appears to render significantly smaller for books in KF8 format than for KFX format. I will need to do more testing of this.

Wow! This is the biggest update improvement I have seen in a long, long time. The new font size and boldness selectors look a lot like what Kobo has done for years. There are 14 size selections and 6 boldness selection (if you include 0). Don't know what took them so long, but I am tremendously happy they finally did it. I had been using font size 4, and now can comfortably go down to 3 by increasing the boldness up to 2 from zero. Feels almost like I have a brand new reader. Thanks Amazon!

So a grayed out update button is correct, they packages are "Model Locked". The package does not match your device model. See my post in the dev sub-forum here. |

Amazon quit using regional distribution about the same time as they introduced the PW3-32. Maybe you have been blinded by the advertisement you include in every post. How much do you get paid for every time you post that advertisement somewhere? |

Received by a lot of things on my Linux desktop system.
Yes, I mean you. It is poor form to include advertisements with every post. |
