Only probem ever had with Kindle

KlondikeGeoff · 11-28-2008, 11:49 AM

Well, not really a problem, just an annoyance. Had the K. 10 months now and needless to say I love it.

One in a great while I accidentally hit the Search key. I have found no easy way to cancel it. At first, all I did was put in an "XXX" and go ahead, and when it listed the places it found, only then coud I close it. Seems stupid that you can't just close it without actually having to do a search.

Then I found a slightly easier way. Just put it to sleep and then wake it up again and the darn thing is gone.

Is there an easier way?

Pressing search a second time should do it.

Or... you could press the search button again...
