Bug rendering PDF vector graphics on Kindle DX
Today I got my Kindle DXG, first a big praise to Amazon for shipping the device within three days to Germany! I wanted a DX a long time, but could only justify it with the recent price drop and the better screen.
But now for an interesting issue I ran into. The rendering of some vector graphics in PDFs has a bug. And it is the same bug I ran into with my iRex DR800SG, see this thread (you can find also a sample PDF linked there, to reproduce the issue on your Kindle). Enclosed is a photo of the diagram on my KDXG. So it seems to be a bug in the Adobe Reader Mobile SDK, in an Adobe blog post it is also confirmed that Amazon uses the SDK. iRex did fix this in a firmware update, so I think it is no big deal for Amazon to also fix it. Is there any "official" instance at Amazon where I can report such bugs, so that they know about this and could correct the odd behaviour in a forthcoming firmware release? |

Maybe can call/email customer support here - http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=200212360 . I am very sceptical though. I asked for Cyrilic fonts support months ago and even though they said that they will forward my request to management surprise surprise still nothing.

I contacted customer support for the Kindle by e-mail and explained the issue. I hope they'll fix it in a future release of the firmware.
