I just found an anomaly with ES File Explorer in that when I ported over the Hacker's Keyboard from the Nexus 7, I found the keyboard unusable in portrait mode with part of the keyboard missing on the right side; only a little part missing in landscape mode.

Now, using Google, I found the developer's webpage using "hacker's keyboard apk" & was able to download the apk from the site. Using ES File Explorer to get the apk, I was able to use ESFE to do the install instead. The Hacker's Keyboard is now working fine as it should! Same version of the apk!!!??? But then the ESFE is a later version as it got updated since trying Hacker's keyboard.

I'm thinking now that I should have tried "real" sideloading with Moon Reader Pro as in copying the apk to the flash driver & then to the fire hdx then install. Regardless, I am able to change fonts size using the Day 1 theme by Moon Reader Pro; in 3.02, the font size just flashed the screen but no font size change. Then I thought the font size change was limited to the "normal" default whatever.

BTW, I had encountered a blank page on Moon Reader pro 3.02; but just thought that there was a glitch as there was no text missing the next page; also what I was reading does have some illustrations within the ebook. Mantano would display the illustrations on a separate page like Aldiko (when on a lower rez tablet); Moon Reader Pro would display the illustrations as inline depending on the size of the illustrations; i.e.sometimes with text above & below the display as the way I like it!
