As soon as my son get's home with my Kindle Fire (oops, I mean his Kindle Fire) I'll give these a try and see what happens. I have tried all of these on my other Android tablets.

ADW Launcher: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/adw.launcher

Android Seven Lite: External Mirror http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Sy...e-112920.shtml

Launcher 7: http://download.pandaapp.com/android...42-id2989.html

Cool, thanks! I'll try them out.

Good idea. I was also wondering if we could somehow make screen icons for books. The iOS allows you to bookmark things via icons on the desktop, which is a great shortcut feature. I don't know if this is possible in Android though. It would be very tedious and manual, but conceivably we could create a screen for each collection and populated it with up to 25 book shortcuts (icons).
