One of the details that were removed in previous Kindle update it was the points of reading progress to know how much we have left to read or in what position related to the length of the book we are. A detail that many users did not like that was withdrawn and that got Amazon to receive criticism for it.
Amazon has now released new firmware for the Kindle Basic, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Voyage, and the Kindle Oasis. This new update brings with it points to know the reading progress that were withdrawn a bit ago. Among some of the other new features in this new firmware, we can find that the device will be able to remember Wi-Fi passwords.
