That's nice to hear (I last owned an e-ink Kindle around 10 years ago, so I wouldn't know about that), but there's definitely no option for custom fonts in Kindle
apps on the tablets/phones.
Other elementary user options are missing as well. (Talk about the paltry selection of 3 – three! – background colors; dumb and drab
solid background colors, of course, as if textured and/or custom backgrounds didn't exist.)
I still occasionally purchase e-books via Amazon, and whenever I initially open one of those e-books in a Kindle app (before liberating it in Moon+ Reader Pro or Marvin), all I can do is
and be amazed again and again at how dumb the Kindle app is, how incredibly limiting, and how
proud Amazon is that the Kindle app is so dumb (just like Apple is immensely proud of how dumb and limiting their own software is; and how Adobe is ecstatic about how dumb Acrobat Reader is; and how Google is bursting with pride at how dumb their Play Books e-reader is; etc., etc.), and how
happy the users are that the app they're using to read their e-books is so dumb and restricting, etc.
You know, naive novice users (and that's at least 95% of this planet's population) believe that it's
natural and necessary for e-reader software to be so dumb and limiting in 2022. Because, after all, Amazon and Apple and Adobe and Google are world-famous brands, right? If this is the
most that all these fabulous corporations have come up with in the realm of e-reader software, then surely nothing better is possible, right? Right?!
