It seems Wish List is broken. But this, and Kindle Store more broadly, is not part of the firmware, but a customized web site. Eventually it will get fixed. Even so, if you have a long wishlist you cannot browse the whole thing on a Kindle - It cuts off after a couple hundred items.

Of course I'm not quite sure if the wishlist issue is related to the update but accessing it did work shortly before the update and I don't have this problem when using one of my old Kindles like the Keyboard or the non-touch basic.

Doesn't work on my Voyage with same update. Hmm. Going to do a restart to see if that fixes it.
I don't keep more than 100 or so on each wishlist, but I have several sorted by genres. Its always handy to just go in there and take a look. eta: Unfortunately, restarting did not fix it. I still cannot access wishlists on 5.8.11 on my Voyage. I haven't tried my Oasis yet, which is on same new update. Update: Also not there on Oasis. It just circles on top, but stays right on the kindle store. No wishlists. Last edited by Atunah; 10-29-2017 at 03:23 PM. |

Well you can all relax. I managed to finally update my software. No thanks to Amazon online chat.

I called and she said the 5.8.11 wasn’t available for my PW3. She said I have the latest Paperwhite. I manually put it on my Paperwhite and did a restart and I finally have the sliders. Awesome! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro |

I hadn’t updated mine in quite a while so I had to do it manually. But I had trouble figuring out how to do and the first time I put the program on the kindle it didn’t work and I wanted Amazon chat to lead me through it and they were useless. I’m not computer savvy but on the chat she just posted the link to the instructions (which I already had and discontinued the chat.

I found the problem myself - the publisher had changed the supplied cover image to one in landscape format. So I added a version in portrait and sent it to my Voyage, where it now displays perfectly. Good to get to the bottom of this, and amazon or the publisher can now correct the book so no-one else experiences this hell. |

I tried both ways, which are really the same The icon and then the dots like you did there and using the drop down from home page to go to kindle store and then use the dots. Same result on both. The circle spins a bit, but stays on the "amazon.com Kindle Store" page. That is what it says on top. I cannot pull up my wishlists. Not from my Voyage, or my Oasis.
