I just have to go back to 3.6.2 on my Fire 6 and deal with the icon bars and non immersion. Or I'll just read Scribd on my Nexus again where I have both, normal margins and immersion. Just as long as I use the older app version. So they had fine margins at some point and for some reason made them horrible. On my Fire 6 Its like reading the size of packing tape, while I have like margins the size of my finger. I don't have a measure tape near me. The real estate is already smaller on the 6. Its like reading off a phone. Not a 6 inch phone though.
I love the service and and the selection, but if they ever not have support of the older app, I can't read anymore. I already can't take advantage of the audio books as they don't work with the older app.
And don't get me started on the horrific hyphenation. I been reading kindle books on kindle since 2008, never needed to have hyphens. It looks so jarring to me. Do paperbacks have hyphenation? I can't even tell anymore I have been reading ebooks for so long.
I am just sad as the text looks so great on the fire 6, better than the Nexus and the size is just perfect, but I can only use the Scribd app that has no immersion mode and I have to stare at the annoying icons. Knowing there is another option, makes it worse.
