11 | 5.14.3.0.1 | Paperwhite (10) | !This new version patches a vulnerability that allowed Kindles to be rooted with a new process called Watch This jailbreak. | Prevents Jailbreak | Amazon released the 14.3 firmware update a couple of weeks ago & pulled it within a day, before too many Kindles downloaded & installed it. This is primarily due to a large number of bugs. The update had an adverse effect on battery life, making Kindles run out of juice within a couple of days, instead of weeks. There were also widespread problems with opening books & reading them. Some worked, some didn’t, there really wasn’t a rhyme or reason that anyone could identify. One of the biggest problem was book cover art not displaying properly. Amazon solved these issues & just released a new update, version 5.14.3.0.1. jhowell I compared 5.14.3.0.1 to the original 5.14.3 release. The only difference I found was minor change to internal event handling related to the user interface. Looks like just a simple bug fix. | https://goodereader.com/blog/kindle/amazon-releases-new-kindle-update-which-solves-many-bugs | ||||||
