Kindle Update 5.14.1 Adds Navigation Options while Reading

Amazon has a new, free software update available for your Kindle, including Kindle Paperwhite (7th/10th Generation), Kindle (8th/10th Generation), and Kindle Oasis (8th/9th/10th Generation). As usual, this update automatically downloads and installs on your Kindle when connected wirelessly; however, you can also manually download the software and transfer the update to your device via USB cable. 

Here's what's new:

Navigation options while reading: You can now navigate more easily within a book that has footnotes, endnotes, bookmarks, notes/highlights, or links.

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements.

The main change about the new Kindle firmware update is that it comes with a new “Back to Page” option on the lower-left corner of the screen when you are navigating throughout a book.

Whenever you use the table of contents or jump to a different page, the “Back to Page” option will show up on the bottom of the page forever until you click on the “Stay Here” button to get rid of the dialog box, which is kind of stupid and annoying.
