Just wanted to take a moment to express my joy about scrolling mode in the reading app, or at least the Platonic ideal thereof. It's not perfect: it is a little jerky, doesn't work with TTS or 'immersion reading' (which itself is buggy on Fire Phone), but I love being able to read continuously without touching anything or having page turn animations interrupt.

Tech tip: if you are using gesture-driven scrolling and it gets stuck (which it will), 'flip' out the TOC panel from the left, and flip it back. You'll be unstuck, no touch required! Or use constant scrolling mode (tap the 'lock' icon in lower right corner and select reading speed). It won't get stuck, but will still occasionally scroll 'discontinuously'.

To make an annotation, scroll the text to the center of the screen, tap once to bring up the scrolling controls, and a second time to reveal reading options and scrubber on right, then you can make the selection.

Gesture-driven scrolling is, of course, available in Silk browser as well. For some reason it is smoother and faster, and doesn't get stuck.
