Kindle Firmware Update 5.12.3 is Available Now!


Amazon just released a new firmware developed for several of its Kindle devices, which is version 5.12.3. Version 5.12.3 is available for all Kindles dating back to the Kindle Voyage, and according to the What’s New page:
• The update adds Library Badges to Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimited books. Basically they put a label at the top so you can easily identify them.
• Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements.

In addition to the above new features, Jhowell said that this update also fixed the widows and orphans bug introduced in the previous update.
His original post on Mobileread forum is:
Looking into the new firmware I see an unactivated feature, called KPP or kindle++ internally. It involves a redesigned "Aa" menu.
Strings include: "Some reading options have moved" and "Go to the Aa menu inside a book to find settings including Popular Highlights, Book Mentions and Word Wise."
KPP is likely undergoing internal testing and planned to be enabled for customers in a future firmware release.
If you are not sure whether your Kindle supports this new updated firmware version, you can have a check on Kindle Software Updates page.
If you want to update to the latest firmware version, you can go to Home > Menu > Settings > Menu > Update Your Kindle, and tap OK to initiate the installation. While upgrading, the device will show a Your Kindle Is Updating message on its display, and then reboot once completed.
