Yeah, I know some people had it already, but I could never find it.
Besides, this is from just a few days ago.

Note: This has a new recovery in it (in case you had a custom one).

Oh, great. I'm running on empty.
How do you like the update? My Poke 3 is still on 3.2.4, having missed the 3.3 update. I am leery of updating since I have read complaints online about both 3.3 and 3.5. The improvements in 3.5 seem to be mostly aimed at note-taking devices. What if anything is there worthwhile for a plain e-reader like Poke 3? What worries me most are the complaints I have read about the changes in lighting control. I am very fond of the right-hand slider gesture to regulate warm light intensity (see attachment). Does this still work with 3.5?
