Goodreads scroll

Gripweed · 10-05-2020, 06:41 PM

I'm wondering whether anyone else is seeing this problem... I have a PW4 (v10) that has recently been updated to 5.13.2 firmware. I believe since the latest update (or the one before it) I am unable to scroll up the Goodread reader reviews. I can only read the one review on the bottom of the page. I've positioned my finger every which way and move it all different directions. I tried using each one of my fingers. I even substituted a stylus for my finger. Nothing will now scroll the reviews up so that I can read more than the one review. I have no problem with the Store or any other place where scrolling is used in the Kindle PW. It definitely did work before with Goodreads.

Are you talking about Book reviews? It’s working on my PW4. Of course there need to be more than one review in the selected review category (Friends|Following|Community).

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. There are definitely more than 1 review for each of the books I check. I'm not one to write book reviews myself but after I finish a book I like to read the Goodreads review for the book to see if my impression of the book matches the other reviewers. I noticed several weeks ago that I could not scroll down past the first review. I always could before, for as long as Goodreads has been on a Kindle of mine.

I can confirm that it's working as expected on my Oasis running 5.13.2, and my Voyage running the same firmware. Since it seems to be limited to your device, have you tried rebooting?

To answer your question, Yes, I tried rebooting several times with no success.

But now the good news... I got it to work. With only the one review showing I now have to put my finger at the very bottom of the screen, actually resting on the bezel partially, and move my finger up. Previously I could put my finger anywhere within the one lone review and when I moved it up more reviews scrolled up. Now, as before, once I get more than the one review on the screen I can place my finger anywhere and scroll up. So, I guess problem solved. Thanks all for your comments.
