I see that I was automatically updated 23 hours ago. It claims general improvements and performance enhancements. I'm not noticing anything yet.

update 6/2/15 -- 4.5.4 now available

As far as I can tell, all of the HDX lines and the HD2nd generations have an update to OS 4.5.3; and the roll out started at least a couple of days ago. My Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is still at 4.5.2.

Is anyone noticing any changes in e-book formatting when reading on the Fire HD6 (or other Fires) after this 4.5.3 update? I haven't received the update on my Fire HD6 yet, but I'm curious about what may have changed.

I still have .2 on both my HDX Fires.

I only have the 8.9 with me, and it hasn't updated yet.

My 8.9 HDX is on 4.5.2, and even checking for updates shows that I am up to date. Based on playing with the smaller HDX, this doesn't seem to be an earth-shaking update, however.

I just checked my 7"HDX and it is on 4.5.2, so I downloaded 4.5.3 and it is currently updating.  It showed as up to date before I started??

 

[Betsy the Quilter]

Yes, that seems to be the case until one's devices is up in the queue for updating.  Mine shows as up-to-date, too!

That's been my experience, too. I'm still waiting for the latest update on my Fire HD6.

My 8.9 inch Fire HDX is now updating to 4.5.3. I was going to browse a bit before bed, and it promotes me to update. I'd been using it for chat only half an hour before, so the update hadn't been waiting very long.

So there is a queue for getting updates. How long should it take for updates to arrive once they start, assuming you are at the end of the queue??

I think it took a week (or so) from the time the December update was announced until it arrived on my Fire HD6. I don't know where I was in the queue, though.

Have no idea. Seems like we've had people getting their updates as long as a few weeks.

Mine updated about 45 minutes ago, apparently!

My HDX 7 updated sometime yesterday . . . . the 8.9 hasn't yet, apparently. At least, there was no notification as there was on the 7

 

[Toby]

I checked the smaller Fires & I got it on my 6", but not on my 7". Since I never seem to get updates on my 7", I'll have to manually update it. I think I read that I got the update in December on my 6", in the area where you check for the update status.

My HDX7 updated last night. So far I have not noticed any difference.

 

[stacydan]

My hdx 8.9 updated last night, haven't noticed any difference yet

 

[Toby]

I got the update on my 8.9".

 

[Ann in Arlington]

My 8.9 updated sometime yesterday.

 

[Betsy the Quilter]

My poor 7" is at home and probably out of battery waiting to update.
