Trying to decide if I want to use font boldness 1 or 0. (no bolding). Font size 4 seems to be the best at the moment in my current book (Dead to the World, Sookie Stackhouse book 4). I'll read a bit with the bolding turned on and then see if I want to revert it.

Is the display of a book's author under its title on the list home page new? I don't remember seeing it before but I may have just not been paying attention.

The Kindle no longer displays separate charge levels for the cover and Kindle. All it has now is the overall charge level at the top like it had before. I definitely don't like that. I guess it's for consistency reasons since this Oasis is now the only Kindle with a separate battery.

According to the 7" user's guide, there's a new menu item called Accessibility in the settings menu. This is completely absent in the first Oasis as far as I can see. Like font bolding, I'll give invert a try when the new one arrives and see if I like it. It might be useful for reading late at night in bed, though as it is the light from the screen isn't very bright and not a bother.

As for the Tapatalk ads, the app defaults to posting that stuff. I turned it off in my copy. I'd rather just use a site's signature feature when I do want to use a signature. I want my posts to be the same no matter if I post them with Tapatalk or a web browser.
