Kindle for iPad issue

rschlack · 08-30-2012, 07:51 AM

I was wondering if anyone was having this issue with the kindle for iPad. The tap to turn feature is driving me crazy. Makes using this impossible. If my thumbs get anywhere near the edge of the screen the page turns and I lose my place. Sometimes the pages rapidly turn and I can't even get back to where I was without some effort.

I wrote amazon about this and they are sending my request to the dev team to add the feature to disable tap to turn which would leave you with swipe to turn which can't be done by mistake.

Sounds more like a general "tablet control" issue. You need to learn to hold the iPad so that you don't inadvertently touch the screen while holding it. I don't say that as a criticism - it's a skill that needs to be learnt when you first use an iPad (or any other tablet, for that matter).
