Dates can be important and in this case, critical. Please be very sure of your ground before commenting on behaviors. March 11 was before any shelter-in-place order in the US that I know.

I’m sorry. I thought I saw a date of March 11 on the post in question but it has been pointed out to me that I was mistaken. So your point was valid and I retract my comment.

LACK there of?? So you’re accusing me of not having common sense, when you haven’t the slightest idea what you’re talking about. What an ignorant remark.

I don’t need to explain anything to you, but your asinine comments pissed me off, so I’m going to answer it. The “family gathering” you jumped all over was just FOUR of us—four of us who live in the same house together. We usually each go about our own business, but that day we decided to BBQ (together) in our yard, have a few drinks and shoot the breeze all night.

So I said “family gathering” for lack of a better term, because I didn’t know what else to call it. We’re family and we “gathered” in the back yard, instead of each retreating to our own rooms.

So I’m guilty of misusing the word “gathering”. But you’re guilty of being a meddling idiot. Even if we did gather with other family members, the town we live in had almost no cases at the time, and we were not prohibited from getting together with other family members.

Not everyone was under the same restrictions. Some states in the US had counties with literally zero cases, so they weren’t even required to social distance, at all.

So maybe know what you’re talking about before shooting off your mouth. We don’t need Covid policing in a KINDLE forum.

I have restarted several times since then and it has not appeared.

Has anyone on this forum actually seen the quick access sign actually appear?

I have only seen pics on Reddit so am wondering whether it is real. I have read the relevant stuff in the other thread so I know that a setting for it has been found in the update code, but, wasn’t that also the case for the book cover as screensaver code?

I have it. not sure when it appeared tho. I could have sworn it appeared long after that update. noticed it around June 20th but I find it cool. I don't use it but it's nice not to have to navigate the menu to shut it on and off

It's kinda hard to avoid family. I am one of the lucky ones that have no family. I am a natural loner which once bothered me that I did not have a social life but with this virus, I am now kinda glad

I've never read a book with white text on black pages and probably never will but my Kindle Paperwhite gives me that option. I tap at the top of a page, tap on settings, and there it is, "dark mode".

Got my dark toggle. My wife's Oasis3 got it last night, and restarted my Oasis2 this morning, also got it. Those were bought quite a while apart. So it appears the dark mode toggle gets activated per account basis, and not on individual device basis.
