Although the things they just added are useless to me, it seems that Paperwhite 1 users don’t have an update for a long time. Still don’t have the vocab builder which I would like to use.

Quite disappointed about this too. I’d also like the newer style of pop-up footnotes.

Any chance this comes to KT?

I’d say there’s a good chance. But it might take a while.

Good to now. Here in Brazil we have to play close to U$400 for the paperwhite and I get my KT when I was abroad. Love it, great hardware and all.

As I am here now, would like to say "great work with the blog, Nate!" Keep it up.

I wonder if this update will solve "Low Memory" error on KP2 while reading pdfs, it’s so annoying…

Hey Piotr,
The update should fix the "Low Memory" error you’re been encountering. It is indeed quite annoying.

Awesome update! But I can’t find the option to adjust the PDF margin, how do I do that?

Thank you
