Seems I had the update pushed to my PW a couple of days ago, even though I'd already applied it manually. All of a sudden it rebooted and did the update. At least the version '5.3.1' didn't change, don't know about the build number or whatever it is.

Still no improvement for the washed out fonts, only answer you can get from Amazon CS is still "switch to single page refresh"....
I think this is kinda lame since "faster page turns" are supposed to be part of the package... |

If they never invented partial refresh, nobody would be complaining. |

I was having occasional issues with the light either not turning on when I opened the cover, or not turning off when I closed it, with the previous firmware. Haven't had that happen since the upgrade.

I never got the update, had to manually update
Well I waited long enough, my update never was automatic.
I had to plug in the Paperwhite and download the update, drag the update to the PW, and when I looked at the version it was changed to 5.3.1 without me having to do anything else. Weird though I never got an automatic update. I have had this PW almost a month. I noticed I finally am receiving the special offers. Now there are collections I see, I didn't have that before. Is that all there is? |

I think Amazon release products faster than they could really handle. My opinion. I had trouble getting wi-fi on the PW, syncing etc. So it hopefully will be okay now. |

Yes, I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread that I'd experienced that. What was more annoying is that sometimes the light wouldn't go off when the Kindle entered sleep mode. It needed a reboot to make it work correctly again. The update appears to have fixed it.
