Mine, too! It has gotten to the point that I was shopping for a new Oasis, but it was normal a few weeks ago before the update so I assume it's software. Is there any way to roll back to the previous version( I apologize if this has already been answered.)

No, but following most updates, all of the on device content gets re-indexed. If one or more of the files is corrupted, the indexing job will keep running and drains the battery.

To check, search for ‘.’ (Period or any other punctuation character) in home/library and the ‘Text in Books’ result will not be empty. Go in there and it should list the book(s) with the issue. Delete these and re download (or side load if that’s how they got there).

Unfortunately for me, the battery problem seems not related to indexing. I hope the new firmware update somehow fixes that.

Unless your Kindle is jailbroken, installing firmware with a lower build number than the current firmware is not permitted.

I tried changing chrome version but it always updates no matter what I do new UI eventually takes over old UI.

I tried so far changing chrome version and making file as read-only but that didn't work as well.

Is there anywhere I can download an older firmware? I've tried searching the forums but just getting links to Amazon's official firmware download site. I'm trying to download 5.14.2. TIA.

You may be able to download an older firmware version, but you have to have a jailbroken Kindle to install it.
