I decided to take the plunge and update manually.
So far it's okay I just have one thing that really bothers me. That's how the book covers are spaced in my library. It looks ridiculous with the big white spaces in the middle. Can anyone tell me if they are more evenly spaced on the Oasis? Since it has a bigger screen. I really hope they will fix this since I can't go back now.

This has probably been covered tons of times where I miss it, but I was reading in an article's comment sections that the newest update seems to have removed this option:
Settings - Reading Options - Turn off popular notes and highlights Anyone know where this is located currently? |

"while reading a book" -- does it turn it off for just that book, or for all books?
I don't use it at all. |

Amazon moved several options that pertain to reading from the Settings menu to the More tab of the Aa menu. Last edited by jhowell; 10-19-2021 at 05:08 PM. |

Haven't used my PW4 in a while and just got this update (well, the next one) and... boy do I hate it. I was convinced there must be a "compact" setting to get more than 5 books per page in list view, so came here looking for how. I cannot believe this is just "how it is" and there's nothing I can do about it. It's atrocious.
My K3 from ten years ago, with the same size screen and lower screen resolution, manages to show TEN books per page in list view, and with a larger font, in a perfectly readable manner. 8 was reasonable before, but 5 is just f***ing ridiculous.

It seems likely that the drop in the number of items shown is a lead up to that change. I have no idea why they didn't just do both at the same time. |
