upvoted_answer: After lots of complaints the dots were brought back in the latest 5.8.1 firmware update for PW2 and PW3 Kindles, which you might need to manually download from the Amazon website. 
  
  (You can only downgrade to a previous version, if your Kindle had the latest jailbreak installed.)
