What J.P.S referred to was a feature of previous firmware versions that exists on the Kindle Oasis 2, but not on 6" Kindles. This feature allows you to switch between a "standard" display style, and a "large" display style, which has more spaced out text aimed at being easier to read. Consequently, this reduces the number of items able to fit on the screen. On previous firmware releases, the battery percentage was shown in "large" mode, but not in "standard" mode. But now, the percentage display is shown in both display modes. |

I wish I hadn't updated. Maybe this is just me, I find the battery percentage really distracting. The other 'upgrades' don't really do much for me either. Sorry, moan over.

You do not have to have the battery percentage showing on your reading page. You can turn it off on the reading tab of the page customizing. I do not have it enabled.

I tried to put alternative fonts in the 创Fonts创 folder of my Kindles PW3 with 5.10.1.1 firmware, but it does not work. I tried following the instructions that are in the folder. Can anyone helpme?
=============== 1. English =============== You can now install your favorite fonts on your Kindle and choose one of them to read your eBooks. Any font you install must be either an OpenType (OTF) or a TrueType (TTF) font. All other font formats are unsupported. Also, fonts are usually available as a font family and may consist of several files for different font styles - one each for Regular, Italic, Bold, BoldItalic, etc. For the best reading experience, we recommend you install all the files in the font family. Supported font files will have .ttf, .otf, or .ttc file extensions. How to install fonts on your Kindle: 1. If the font is packaged into a compressed file (such as a ZIP file), uncompress the files using your favorite file extracting program 2. Copy the font files into the “fonts” folder on your Kindle 3. Disconnect your Kindle from the computer 4. You can now choose a custom font in addition to the Kindle fonts from the Display Settings (Aa) menu Once you choose a custom font from the Display Settings (Aa) menu, your Kindle will render the book content using that font for most books. If the font is not able to be used for rendering the book’s content, your Kindle will use the default system font instead. This can happen if the font does not support the characters in the book or if the font is damaged. |

Edit: That doesn't seem to make a difference. I thought it might be case-sensitive. What font(s) are you trying to add? Last edited by JimmyR; 11-01-2018 at 06:38 AM. Reason: Add info |

Install your fonts then open Kindle User Guide and go to Aa menu to check if your fonts are supported by the device.

My Kindle is not jailbreaked, but the new firmware in theory supports adding new fonts.

A restart shouldn't be necessary but you might give that a try. Edit: Custom fonts was added with 5.9.6. Last edited by JimmyR; 11-01-2018 at 08:26 AM. |

The older MOBI format doesn't support user fonts. The KF8 format (AZW3) and KFX does.
