I saw a comment on another forum that you need to sync your device online before the option becomes available. I don't know whether that is actually true. |

I just downloaded this update and I love it. It's so easy to highlight now! I read a lot of nonfiction and highlights are important for me. And, since I am not a native English speaker, I also use Kindle dictionary a lot, but it never happened to me that text got highlighted while I was looking up for a word on Kindle.
I would recommend this update to anyone who does a lot of highlighting. If only Amazon made a reader the size of Kobo's Aura One and introduced comfort light or whatever Kobo calls it (I read a lot at night, and that one is really comfortable), I could drop Kobos completely for the lack of Oxford and other good dictionaries, difficulties of highlighting and export of highlights. I am embedding fonts for Kindle books, so fonts are not my problem. |

I just played with it a little bit. I think it's a major improvement.

Hmm, will try the update on my PW2. Update: Installed 5.9.5 on my PW2 and it now has a Highlight Menu option. Last edited by ilovejedd; 04-14-2018 at 12:13 AM. |

All the same, it is a little odd that one has to sync before an update feature appears, normally you download and install the update and the new features are just there. |

It isn't the first time that Amazon has done this. The "Page Flip" feature was included in several firmware releases before Amazon enabled it remotely.

Talking of which, I noticed the store showing books on my Oasis is now improved - if a book has already been purchased it shows now and instead of buying it goes to library. |

I am pretty sure I have had that already. As I tried to buy one the other day in the store and it had the library button there since I already owned it. Oops.
