That was an interesting suggestion. I installed Firefox and made it my default browser. The kindle app automatically opened Firefox when I highlight text and select Search|Web. It didn't ask whether I wanted to use Silk, Firefox, or Chrome.

So I uninstalled Firefox and made Chrome my default browser again. The app went back to opening Silk.

Then I uninstalled Chrome, reinstalled it, made it the default browser, and...
The app still opens Silk! No choice is offered.

One related thing that has worked correctly since I bought this device: When I highlight text and from the Wikipedia box select "Go to Wikipedia" it initially gave me a choice of using Chrome or the Wikipedia app. Since I chose Always Chrome, it does always open Wikipedia in Chrome from there.
