Fire tablets are not Kindle e-readers. Amazon dropped the Kindle name from the tablets a few years back.

There's a new firmware for Kindles from 7th gen Paperwhite to the newest Kindle basic. Newest firmware for Scribe is 5.16.2 (May 2023).

Release notes are very short and very generic:

Version 5.16.2.1 – June 2023

Here's what's new:

Performance improvements, bug fixes, and other general enhancements.

Not listed in release notes, but there is now a button for annotations, that I don't think were there before.

Have you noticed any other changes or improvements?

I haven't seen it yet so it it must be a slow rollout. Using a PW11

Kindle updates are always slow. Can take months to receive an update. You can download the file, put it to the root folder of your Kindle and restart your Kindle to update it.
