I upgraded my Nexus 7 to V4.3 and the old kindle app wouldn't work anymore so I had to upgrade my kindle app as well.

Now when I read a kindle book on the Nexus, there is a little message at the bottom of the page. It starts with "Learning reading speed..." and then changes to "x mins left in chapter". This really annoys me - it is as if the gadget is monitoring my reading speed and then telling my how fast I should go. Is there any way to get rid of this message?

My apologies -

I kept searching and found the solution. Tap on the annoying "x mins left" message and it changes to the more sensible "Page x of xxx"
I'm with you. Reading is not a competition necessitating a timer. For me a timer detracts from the enjoyment reading brings. Timers makes what is supposed to be a relaxation into a competion. So thanks for the heads-up on the solution.

I feel the same way about doing crossword puzzles, I want a distraction from the on-the-clock 24/7 world in which we live. I love golf , baseball, chess & fishing for their total lack of time limits.
