I can't find where someone posted about adding a screen filter. Can someone walk me through how to do that (I already downloaded the apk file and installed the app that shows all the folders ... but I don't have a mini usb cord. Any way I can email it to myself and get it on the Fire that way?

So far, I am a bit less than impressed. It's "OK" but the web browsing is not as responsive as I had hoped. I have an iPad 2 and an iPod Touch 4 to compare it to. If I can get the brightness thing under control, I think the iPad 2 will be my preferred web-browsing device, my iPod Touch preferred for listening to podcasts and reading at night side-lying (I LOVE LOVE it for that - don't need anything bigger - maybe a 4.5" screen would be perfect if they ever increase the size, but otherwise, it's great. Also love my iPod Touch for the bathtub (I've got a waterproof case). The only thing I think I'd prefer the Fire for is reading *sitting up* at night - IF I can get it dimmer. And *maybe* for watching movies in bed if I'm lying down (LOL, I know how spoiled I sound - a device for every position! Also have the e-ink Kindle for, you know, reading in sunlight) :P

Funny, I just posted on another thread disagreeing that the night mode would be hard to read at night - NOW I see maybe where the person's problem was - maybe on a device that won't get dim enough, it's not comfortable on the eyes. On my iPod Touch (gets nice and dim), I love reading on the night mode in complete darkness. On the Kindle Fire it was WAY too bright in darkness - even in a dim room it was too bright.

One more thing - the resolution on the text is just a small bit better than reading on the iPad. Doesn't 'blow me away' like the iPod Touch. I plan to take some pictures to show the comparison sometime soon.
