I just got my Fire 6, Sunday delivery. Its on the charger, but I tested out the Scribd apps. I just cannot take the large margin in the 3.8 version. Just horrible. Its even worse than it would be on the nexus as this screen is smaller. There were almost no words to read in a line. So I put on 3.6.2 for now, the same I have on my Nexus.
Its a bit buggy once in a while with formatting. I fixed that by going out and back into the book. Like the flow was off, the last line was only 3 words and stretched out. Went out and back in the book and its fine now. If it keeps going I guess I'll have to update the app, but the margins are so large its almost unreadable. What the heck are they thinking at Scribd. I just don't get it.
And yes, they need to fix the immersion thingy. The kindle books look lovely without all the icons glaring me in the face. I am sure once I read they'll go away in my head, but still. Hopefully they can do something there.
I tried the kindle app from their website, I don't know the version or if the google store one is more updated. But it doesn't matter if it has the same large margins, I can't use it anyway.
So as of now, my android phone is the only device I can use the audiobooks as its the only one I can use the newest version on. I don't read on my phone so I don't care what the margins look like there. Works great though as a audio player.
