Where (on the screen) are you double tapping? I cannot reproduce this behavior.

But first: what firmware version is on your Kindle? (5.13.3 is current, I think)

They’ve changed things since I last tried this: IIRC, you used to be able to switch into and out of Guided View via the menu. The double tap rate needs to be pretty fast or it just turns two pages/panels. It should not matter where you double tap.

And what is up with the PAGE DISPLAY options: Animation On/Off, Fit To Screen On/Off, Page Refresh On/Off, Orientation. But only Page Refresh is enabled for the ‘Troublemaker’ book and another GN I tried.

On another graphic novel, “Indeh”, which does not support Guided View, has Yet Another format with its own set of page display options: Animation (disabled), Crop Margins, Page Refresh, Virtual Panel, Preview Double Page Spread, and Orientation. This is ‘manga’ format, but in this case, with reversed manga navigation (which starts at ‘back’ of book, you have to tap left side to advance, and reverse Z pattern when in Virtual Panel mode).

When Virtual Panel is On, you can toggle with double tap and it sort of walks the (full page) images around in Z pattern.

In Landscape, for this book (which has large margins baked in), Crop Margins is disabled. Makes things very unpleasant, as it displays 2 pages side by side.

Downloaded an ‘actual’ manga and it worked much better in Landscape with VP on: no wasted space.

How to turn on Animation? What could it possibly look like? A teaser for some Super Kindle in the works?
