No they have not like I said on the other thread it seems to be they have dumb down the reader which is sad. The reader on the original Kindle Fire is awesome!
I read on Mantano last night and I loved it! It does has that feature! I can use whatever font I want too. The most wonderful thing on the HDX for night reading is......Screen Dim is no longer needed!!!! *dances* The minimum brightness on the HDX is perfect for in the dark reading.
The bad is the official case sucks for reading! I can't hold it. It adds too much weight and there no place to grip for small hands. I tried every way last night but there is no way for me to grip it comfortably so it's really is just a stand for me. (A really expensive nice stand.) I finally remove the HDX from the case (Which is super easy to do) and the difference in weight is substantial! It weighs practically nothing.
It's still is awkward to hold as there is no place to really grip it when its naked. It's too wide for my small hands to hold by itself so I propped it on my ample chest.
It reminded me of holding the K3 without its cover. It's just too thin to grip and it's much wider and thinner than a K3 which I can grip alot better.
So I have to find me a cover that will work for reading till then I will read without the cover and use the cover as a case to store it in. A very expensive case that is starting to pill on the inside meaning
the soft material is losing its hair already.
My Advice is to stay away from the case! I usually love Amazon's cases but this one is nothing but a stand.
