The New 5.11.1 and 5.11.1.1 Firmware Update are All Available for Kindle e-Readers


Amazon has released two new firmware updates for Kindle e-Reader in April.

Every single Kindle model after the Paperwhite 2 receive 5.11.1.1 Firmware Update.  One of the big new features has to do with translations, which allow you to translate a specific word or body of text to a different language. The Kindle now supports Afrikaans, Catalan, Icelandic, Swedish and Welsh. They have also added a new keyboard layout for those languages as well.

The download page does not have any release notes. Once the firmware is installed the What's New screen shows the following:

Not long after the 5.11.1.1 update, the 5.11.1 Firmware Update is available for Kindle Paperwhite 4,  which allows readers to be able to Sort by Read and Unread soon, giving people an option to have more control over their ebook library. This feature will be a major selling point in the future.
