There is no way 30% a day would last on my phone. It could last on the Fire possibly if WiFi is off and no apps are running. |

15 pages (75-86, 108-11) are about The Kindle Store. 7 pages are the Appendix, which is just safety and specs. And there are 39 graphics that are more than 1/2 page size (most are 2/3 page), plus many 1/5-page graphics. I think the K3 manual was aimed at helping people new to electronics. Starting with sentences like: Quote:

I reset the Fire and re-register.
Using it again. I really want to give it a try ... lets see ... On a different topic but related, just forgot why sold my Nook Color: lack of IT books. But oh boy, the new Nook Tablet is really nice. |

Sorry about what happened with the KF. I'm not having any problems whatsoever. In fact (and I'll jinx myself) I must have gotten a Blaze. The more I use the KF, the more it smokes!
Folks having issues with web browser connections and the touch screen being flaky amongst other things? Not here! We'll see how you like the NT. I knew better after trying the NC which is more or less the same so I went for the KF instead. |

However, can't find my favorites IT books on B&N. And the B&N app. store is a joke. There is a better app selection and better prices on Amazon, including books. Can I keep both? ;-) By the way, I'm able to run Kindle app. on Nook Tablet without rooting!!! Last edited by jocampo; 11-28-2011 at 05:24 PM. |

I'm okay knowing that the Fire is not as great a visual/technological experience as the NC or iPad. The real benefits of the Fire to me are the lower price (fell within impulse range) and Amazon's services. The books I'd already paid for, the Amazon Prime VOD that I was under-utilizing before, the free "library" borrowing... okay, it's one per month but that's a big chunk of money in a year - like three decent martinis! As I have it rooted/configured, it does absolutely everything I'd do on an IPad, but for less money and more portable, at the sacrifice of speed and perhaps some visual quality.
It doesn't have to be the perfect car, but it does get me to better parties. |

There are a few things that can cause the KF screen's seem like it's not responding. 1. You're not familiar with a capacitive screen and how it works. Light, feathery touches work best and patience. 2. You're using the Screen Filter app which causes some buttons not to work right or work at all. Disable when needed. 3. The sideloaded app you are using is not optimized for the Fire so it's a little buggy. This is a developers issue. 4. You have cold fingers like me (I'm anemic) Keep them warm! 5. You're using a screen protector that's cuts down on the sensitivity. I notice the cheap screen protector I bought is causing issue with sensitivity. Took it off and no more problems. I can't wait till the other one I bought gets here. Even though it says its made for the Fire most of these were probably not tested and made before the Fire's released. 6. The screen is dirty and needs to be clean. This happens when you touch the Fire and don't wash your hands. A simple microfiber cloth will fix that. |

This is true. I enabled the 3rd party download setting and I've got EZgo loader pro and ZDBox tools on my Nook Tablet and the entire kindle store and Amazon Apps to choose from with an alternate home page. no reason to get rid of the Nook Tablet when you can get the whole kindle library and all amazon Apps redily available on the Nook with just a few touches on the right screen. |

Fire went off again today
Quote:
The whole Amazon integration won't be there. And during my testing, some books refused to open, I don't know why. It's a workaround, but not an elegant solution, in my opinion. I'm about to return the Nook Color, but what I said is true. That tablet had major improvements, is a nice alternative if you can find your books on B&N or you are not an Amazon customer. Going back to the main topic, my Fire went off again today, min ago. No! It is 80% battery. No! No rogue apps consuming RAM or battery. It's an issue, will exchange it today. |
