It’s annoying having to hide the writing toolbar whenever I read a book. I think it should default to hidden when reading a book. Considering when you go to make a note in a book it asks you to select either typing or writing, what's the point in having the toolbar there in any case? It is a blot on the landscape, like having a large squashed fly in the margin of your book. Impossible to ignore.

It's not a big deal to hide it, but how many average users are even going to work out how to hide it and just put up with it?

And, a general point about ‘Accessibility' on any device, for the elderly (disclaimer, I’m talking about non-tech savvy elderly people, such as my mother, mother-in-law etc.), they do not see or understand three tiny dots as being a menu to press. I can’t imagine how the visually impaired cope with this type of menu system either. The very opposite of accessible.

I actually think the menus on a kindle should be much more text-driven, and much less like a mobile phone, for this reason.
