KK Firmware Update

Every time I do an upgrade I 'think' I can see screen improvements and this time is no exception. The text does seem clearer.
I don't have any use for parental controls but it seems you can restrict access to the experimental web, archive and kindle store.
Lots of cartoon options and childrens book things which I will have a play with later.

I'm not going to push the update onto ours manually. I've charged up both KKs and have turned wifi on both of them.
We'll see how long it takes for the update to come through automatically.



It is a doddle to manually install though :-)




Lmfao!!!


It might make the group book look EVEN BETTER!

"Whispersync for Voice: Now you can switch back and forth between reading and listening without losing your place. Whispersync for Voice will synchronize what you read on any Kindle platform device with Audible playback on Kindle Keyboard, Kindle Fire, or on Audible apps for iPhone and Android."
Remind me please why it is that the UK update doesn't include Whispersync while the US one does? (If that is in fact the case.) My Kindle is still updating so can't check it yet.

Can't see the updates being different by region..."
I've now had the update message on my Kindle and there's no mention of Whispersync. If anyone finds it, please let me know!!
Can't say I can see any difference in the font clarity, but maybe it's more evident in fancy formats rather than in a straightforward book.

Cheers. Got it where it needs to be for the necessary. ;)
Kindle Keyboard has surprisingly had a firmware update. Well done Amazon, I really assumed the KK was history as far as they were concerned :
•Improved Font: We've improved the reading font to have more contrast and be more crisp.
•Parental Controls: With the latest software update for Kindle Keyboard, parents can restrict access to the Experimental Web Browser, the Kindle Store, and Archived Items. While the Kindle Store and Archived Items are locked with Parental Controls, you can continue to buy books from a computer and send them to the Kindle wirelessly for a child to read.
•Kindle Format 8: KF8 makes books look even better with support for author specified fonts and more book styling options.
•Comic Books: Kindle Keyboard now supports comic books with Kindle Panel View. Supported titles can be purchased from the Kindle Store. Books open in Kindle Panel View by default (a view that allows you to read a comic book panel by panel).
•Children's Picture Books: Kindle Keyboard supports children's picture books with Kindle Text Pop-Up. Supported titles can be purchased from the Kindle Store.
•Whispersync for Voice: Now you can switch back and forth between reading and listening without losing your place. Whispersync for Voice will synchronize what you read on any Kindle platform device with Audible playback on Kindle Keyboard, Kindle Fire, or on Audible apps for iPhone and Android.
If you just can't wait, here it is :
