Did you buy a Kindle Fire because it was the best tablet available, hardware- and software-wise? Or was the price point a concern? Similarly-specced tablets without a leash to a particular company's...

Among native speakers of English, 'demanding' tends to carry an unpleasant/entitled/authoritative weight that's generally uncalled for in polite company, unless you're in court or in the military. My...

Tivoization refers to hardware manufacturers 'circumventing' free-software licenses by only allowing their devices to run versions of the software signed by the manufacturer itself. This makes some...

I thought I spoke my points fairly and was, in fact, disagreeing with the opinion (or two opinions, I suppose, eventually). I don't think I insulted anyone, I suppose 'tantrum' is up for debate but I...

If you're feeling an itch, definitely give the PW3 a try. I upgraded from a perfectly fine Kindle 4 a few weeks ago and don't regret it at all. I'm not crazy about the touch screen and having to move...

Thanks for the morning laugh. I take it you don't generally read Terms of Use/Terms of Service?

I'm aware, which is why I kept it for a footnote and downplayed it saying it was just the tweak that made it look better. It was already great to begin with. Better than my K3.

Anyway, I'm glad...

My K4S screen is as contrast-y as every K4B I've seen so far* -- which doesn't necessarily preclude better quality control, maybe I have a really good unit,...

Did they do it in a dark room? You can light a match on a particularly bright sunny day and not see the flame. Doesn't mean it's not lit, touch it and see.

Why would they even recommend having the light on at all in 'brightly lit rooms?' And you don't think they'd want to advertise, say, twelve weeks with the light off rather than eight with it on?

I don't think it's inconceivable. I remember hearing that many users of the GlowLight-equipped Nook kept the light on since it dramatically increased the perceived whiteness of the page.

Are the original screensavers preserved when running this hack (and put in the screensavers folder)? I don't mind them, I'd just like to be able to add some of my own.

Just uninstalled my SS hack from 3.0.3, uninstalled the old jailbreak, ran the Amazon update, ran the new jailbreak, ran the SS hack. Everything seems fine.

Great job.

I haven't had the cover in a few months, as I exchanged for the lighted cover, but I'm pretty sure the hooks were plastic; at the very least, the top one (with the spring) was. It wasn't an older...

The hooks on the non-lighted covers are plastic. At least mine were. And there's no hinge involved; the hooks are mounted parallel to the cover's back, rigidly.
