I don't know how you get it to ask again after selecting a preference. But it seems yours is set to 'Always use Silk'.

When I do a web search, it uses Chrome. I'm sure I selected "Always" the first time I was prompted.

Surely there's some way to do it short of Reset to factory settings? Maybe go back into Default apps, select Silk, then set it back to Chrome?

I tried that. Reset the browser to Silk, closed and reopened Kindle, changed it back to Chrome. No joy.

There's also a Reset app button.

I don't know where that is.

Finally if you go into Kindle APP settings there's an Allow App to open supported links. You can choose Ask every time. Maybe that will let you re-select default.

I tried that, but, to be clear, my problem is not with opening embedded links. Those open in Chrome when I click on them in the Kindle reading app. The problem is when I highlight a word or phrase then select Search|Web from the context menu. The search results appear in Silk.

This is a problem that I never encountered on my previous Fire tablets, but I am fully prepared that there is user error at fault.

Thanks for the suggestions.
