Just bought a Kindle Fire

[ApK]

Maybe that one I linked, but if you just go into the menu in File Expert, to Utilities, Get New Apps, there is a "File Expert Classic Black Theme" right on the list, near the bottom that installs directly and shows right up in the Theme Manager. I just tried it. It's lovely. I think black is the new black. But I'm going back to the default.

That worked! I like it much better now. K to you!

It fits perfectly, works great, doesn't degrade the quality of the picture, and was the easiest screen protector that I've ever installed on a device.
(Note: I have no connection whatsoever with this product).

Is this a clear one or the non-glare? How is it with fingerprints? Fingerprints on glass screens drive me nuts!

It's the one called "splash Masque HD Screen Protector Film " on Amazon; evidently the HD comes only one way (the other ones say "invisible" or "clear" or whatever), and it's excellent with fingerprints. And, as I said in my earlier post, I've never had a screen protector go on so easily without bubbles. It's washable and reusable, too.

Being that I have a case that stays on my KF all the time, I didn't see the need for a screen protector to prevent scratches. But the glare and the fingerprints were getting too distracting. With spring coming, and the prospect of being outside in sunlight with the Fire becoming an eventuality, I wanted to try a screen protector to reduce glare. I'm very happy with this one.

Thanks for the tip about using Dropbox from within ES File Explorer. Since I had the version from Amazon, which hasn't been updated with that ability, I wasn't aware you could do that. After deleting the Amazon version, I was able to install the current version from the developer website, and it's a huge improvement. Me like.

The Amazon version is really old. You find alot of features have been added since then. I love the move to/copy to feature.

Got the Black Theme for File Expert. Looks cool. They also have a bookshelf one but doesnt seem compatible. It took a long time to DL so maybe better not to eat up memory for that
