Bizarre Kindle 2 Menu Font Fading
Posted from the Amazon forums:
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Menu-ve...2LAIYMW441C/1/ I tried myself and had the same problem. If you download the following MOBI file on your Kindle 2: http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/11/pg11.mobi And hit menu while inside it, the Menu text is all faded. It's also slightly larger in font size; the box is cut-off at the bottom of the display. Clearly this is a bug of some sort, but what in these mobis is causing it? |

That's prety weird. I wonder if this is systematic.

Great! It's surely just a bug the rendering system that will get fixed in a future update.

Strange bug, but I'm sure it will end up getting corrected at some point; Amazon is pretty on the ball.

This happens with Feedbooks too
I thought my Kindle was failing because of this weird menu fade. But it is only with books I've gotten through the feedbooks "KIndle Download Guide" I have in my Kindle book list. I haven't noticed if it happens with books downloaded through the Mobipocket Guide.
