The changes appearing in the release note probably means that they are now active for everyone.

Based on a thread in the developer forum I suspect the main change to be blocking of a soon to be released jailbreak that works on prior firmware.

Almamida · 04-26-2022, 10:37 AM

isn't it the update to fix the possibility of jailbreak?

Tony060912 · 04-26-2022, 10:40 AM

PW3 updated, jailbreak survived with latest JB Hotfix installed.
Seems that the only change is the new UI design will enable by default...

They seem to be pretending April never happened!

Pyjam · 04-26-2022, 04:45 PM

So, it’s an update with nothing new?

johnnyb · 04-26-2022, 05:27 PM

Just switched to airplane mode, not ruining my chance to jailbreak my Paperwhite this time

tomsem · 04-26-2022, 08:47 PM

Unfortunately it seems no faster on my 10th gen Kindles.

They probably rushed to get it out prior to the new jailbreak becoming available and missed some details like that.

From Amazon's point of view the jailbreak will publicize a flaw in their firmware that someone unscrupulous might use to hack another's Kindle and gain access to their Amazon account. It wouldn't surprise me if they fast track the over-the-air rollout for security reasons. (We should know tomorrow what the flaw actually is.)

Have you had a chance to see what is different between the latest 2 updates, other than the version number and what’s new text?
