Kt v504

From Andrys Basten’s A Kindle World Blog.  Full details on how to download it at her site.

Kindle Touch Software Update, V5.0.4 is available online, and downloadable at the link, in case the update isn’t already on your Kindle Touch and you decide you want it right away.

It’s apparently been available since Feb. 29 but little was said about it and no one is quite sure what the maintenance updates are about.

The only item I found that was fairly certain was that a dictionary does not have to be ‘set’ again as was needed often when you re-set the Kindle Touch.

My Kindle Touch is still at v5.0.3 and the ‘Update your Kindle” button is grayed out.  I’ll be updating instead of waiting, although the latter will be easier for most. There is usually no functionality change in a maintenance update.

I recommend that most wait for it to happen unless they need to have it now and haven’t been updated yet.  See further below on that.

As mentioned, here’s the actual software update page for the Kindle Touch update v5.0.4 rather than have you choose from several possible ones on the general page.  They have been sending these types of updates out pretty quickly when they happen.

The reason given by Amazon for the update is the usual for light fixes:
This update features general software improvements for Kindle Touch.
