You can access those books from the Archive on your other Kindles. You need to search for the title of book if your Archive is large.

2. Can I use the older charger (from old Kindle), on this new one? It's more compact.
|
I don't think you can. I'm not sure but I think it's need more power then the old version.

3. Sometimes I have to hit the screen several times--sometimes hard--to get it to respond. Is this the way it is, or do I have a faulty one?

I don't have this issue try to clean the screen. Sometimes a dirty screen will cause this or Screen Filter app is use that also causes this. I find light feathery touches work best.

4. the Font is tiny in Google and Wikipedia: can anything be done about that?
|
Do you mean in silk? Double tap on the webpage to zoom in or in Silk's settings you can change the font size as well.

5.Can that ridiculous carousel be changed --we don't need at Home to see everything in the cloud.

I wish it could but no we are stuck with it. Hopefully Amazon will fix it. There is a feedback app on the Fire were you can send your feedback directly to Amazon. See this thread
