Kindle display - change to number of items per page
Background - I've got a jail-broken Kindle KT4 (10th Gen) on f/w 5.13.6. I keep it permanently on Airplane mode & I've got the OTA binaries loaded. I send a copy of every sideloaded book to Amazon as well, so that I've got a cloud backup, but never bother downloading them, ofc, since I don't go on line.
Couple of days ago (how I have no idea) it took itself off airplane mode & (annoyingly) downloaded all the waiting books BUT also a) somehow made every book show the GoodReads pop-up "About This Book" whenever I open a book. b) reduce the number of items per page shown in list mode from 8 down to 7. The f/w hasn't altered - still 5.13.6 (thank goodness & the OTA binaries). Any thoughts about what's altered and how I could alter it back? Thanks. |

Amazon isn't a backup, it's a shop.

From time to time someone figures out how to change some particular feature and makes a post, but it never gets written up in an organised way. Your best option is probably to downgrade to some 5.11.x or 5.10.x firmware. |

The Cloud is marketing of someone else's computer/server. It's a copy, not a backup. Using Send to Kindle service it's not even a true copy but a conversion. |

Have you tried to restore from it? A mixture of vibration, frequent extreme heat and cold, and big magnetized things on all sides would make me a bit worried about using cars as a storage medium. (Though modern HDDs are almost invulnerable to external magnetic fields in any case: the drive medium is almost impossible to magnetize, thus almost impossible to disturb.)
