It is odd the the new version is only available for the new Oasis and the PW3 so far. I hope that this isn't an indication that the PW2 will no longer be receiving updates.

What is strange is that the 7th gen Paperwhite already has an update, but none of the 8th gen devices or the 7th gen voyage.

So for the PW3, it looks like the new firmware isn't a worthwhile update to 5.8.11.

With all the update & Audio Flies .... soon you wont have any space to read 1 ebook or listen to 1 audible.... which will make them useless! Expensive Paperweights!

What are you talking about? I think the updates go to the Amazon side not the user side of the memory. |

I have two Paperwhite 3 Kindles. One has 2.6Gb of free space and the other 2.8Gb. I'm not ready to panic.
