Those have been there since 6.1 I think. You hold down the upper letter keys and get a number typed instead. I'll look through the tips thread to see when I first reported them.

You're are right. I've looked at pics but I didn't have this. So could it be my Fire was defective and I didn't know it? 6.1 was the first update after we got the Fire correct?

Yep. Mine actually updated to 6.1 as soon as I turned it on after unpacking it. I cannot remember exactly when the numbers on the top row of letter keys first appeared, but they have been there a long time. If yours didn't have them then that might be indicative of a software (firmware?) conflict of some kind.

Boy, I wish they would change the copy and paste! It is so lame. It frustrates me no end. My Sharp Zauruses handle this very well with a clipboard app in the task bar - you can EASILY highlight and copy anything.

Of course, who knows, maybe I was in the Kindle Launcher when it updated or something. Is there anyway to backup up and restore the whole Kindle if something goes wrong? With my Pocketbook 360+, I can just copy the whole shebang over to my PC and if something goes wrong just delete everything on the Pocketbook drive and copy the PC files back over. (I've actually had to do this once or twice.) It worries me that i have no backup for this device. |

My Problem is the tools used aren't really updated yet to even attempt to fix my old one. |
