Is there any hidden updates on this patch?
Goodreads doesn't really work with sendtokindle books so I might just wait until Amazon pushes this update to my Kindle. |

This has probably been asked elsewhere but I assume the Paperwhite SE takes the 11th Gen Paperwhite update?

Doesn't seem to enable MTP on older Kindles yet?
Lots and lots of binary changes though. |

This patch doesn't turn the PW SE into a MTP device does it?

I didn't browse GR on my Kindles anyway due to how slow and limited --- however, if they do default to just show currently reading, read, and "want to read" shelves, it's pointless for me. Many created custom shelves for their TBR when Goodreads made that weird wording change years and years back -- my TBR Pile is not on the generic "Want to read" shelf. At the time I remember the uproar on the now defunct feedback group as it was mixing it up with "wishlist" books at the time.
If it allows other shelves to be selected, then it won't matter much. I am not turning off Wi-fi for awhile still so probably won't get that update anytime soon anyway. |

I would love to know why my Paperwhite seems to get every update within a day or so of the announcement that a new update is available. Admittedly, it is not my primary reader since it was purchased more for testing edited ebooks on a Amazon eInk device than day to day use.

The streamlined Goodreads experience loads a lot faster, but for what purpose, it is not clear. It no longer lets you view your Goodreads feed, only the standard three shelves.
Does not matter much, I rarely spent any time with the other stuff, as it was so slow. |
