Kindle's are currently about 30% off on Amazon's websites. Seems to be every model in all colors and variations. The deals are for Prime members only, but you might be eligible to try Prime for free.

The deals are at least on amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and amazon.de.

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?

A new beta of Mlem for Lemmy was released on 2023-07-02. Among many other improvements, it has greatly improved VoiceOver support. But there are also the following known issues:

• Large posts will prevent scrolling by using left and right gestures with VoiceOver
• Unable to navigate to a community from a post with VoiceOver

You can read all the details from their announcement post.

You can download the update from TestFlight. Remember that there are two separate TestFlight betas. The first ended when there was a change in the development team and won't be updated anymore. If you are in that beta, you need to join the new beta to get the new update.
