I'm hoping that the update includes a fix for the issue with the screen flashing when the clock changes.

I'll be a guinea pig. I'll let you know if it blows up my Kindle 8th Generation.

There is a “Reading Settings” tab in the Aa menu, but there is nothing about highlights there. There is a “Reading Options” menu under Settings that has “Highlights and About This Book” and under that a ”Highlight Menu” choice. That is the setting described.

Has the Kindle firmware now reached the point where they are beginning to just shuffle features around? Sure looks like it.

Unfortunately, I’ve had the clock issue still cause the screen to flash with 5.9.5, so they apparently did not get it fixed.

When you select multiple lines of text in a book a highlight is automatically created from the selected text. If the "Highlights Menu" option is ON a menu will popup with choices including an "Undo" button. If the option is OFF then the highlight is created, but no menu pops up. |

Ideally they will provide this option on all platforms so people like me who switch devices a lot can have a consistent user experience across all of them. |
