On Kindle Scribe, you can write directly on your PDFs. On Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, PDFs display in color.

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements.

Looks like the PW5 is stuck on the awful 5.19.2 unless you're lucky enough to to be on an earlier firmware in airplane mode.

I still have my Kindle Scribe 2022 version on 5.18.6. Apart from sideloaded pdf annotations, is there a reason to upgrade? Is this reasonably safe now or is it a vibe-coded mess?

I would stick with what you have in airplane mode. There's not enough information on this new firmware.

Initial reports from KCC users for sideloaded manga/comics:

Some people were reporting the same issues as 5.19.3: all the options in the Aa menu are gone like virtual panel view, 2 page landscape had pages on wrong side, no % read.

But some people decided to update to 5.19.3.0.1 via usb while the Kindle was in airplane mode. 4 reports saying that all the problems were gone.

Then one person tried turning wifi on and all the problems returned.
