![Kindle update in progress](https://i2.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2015/08/IMG_0247.jpg?resize=800%2C600 "IMG_0247.jpg")

As of this morning, Amazon’s [new Kindle typeface Bookerly](http://www.onemanandhisblog.com/archives/2015/01/bookerly%5Famazons%5Fnew%5Fkindle%5Ffont.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) has made it to the E Ink Kindles – well, the most recent ones, anyway:

The current supported list is:

- [Kindle Voyage](http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201630670&ref=onemanandhisblog.com)
- [Kindle Paperwhite (3rd version)](http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp%5Fleft%5Fcn?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201756220&ref=onemanandhisblog.com)
- [Kindle Paperwhite (2nd version)](http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp%5Fleft%5Fcn?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201307450&ref=onemanandhisblog.com)
- [Kindle Touchscreen](http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=201605570&ref=onemanandhisblog.com)

If Amazon sticks to form, updates for (some) older devices will emerge over the next few months.I imagine that the over-the-air update will make its way to devices over the next month, but I grabbed the direct download and installed in on my Voyage straight away. If you want to do the same, the direct links are above.

And here’s the font in use on the Voyage:

(Bonus points for recognising the book… 😉 )

At this point, I really don’t have much to add beyond the comments I made months ago when [Bookerly hit my Kindle Fire](http://www.onemanandhisblog.com/archives/2015/01/bookerly%5Famazons%5Fnew%5Fkindle%5Ffont.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). I like it, it’s an improvement on what they had before, and coupled with [the other typographic changes](http://www.onemanandhisblog.com/archives/2015/05/kindle-bookerly-ios-next.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), it’s a big step in the right direction with the software on these devices.

I have two 13 hour flights coming up over the next 10 days, so that’ll be the perfect opportunity to test how good the typeface is for extended use.
