The problem here is that not even .kfx books do whole-paragraph greyness optimization (as, say, TeX does), and the first, second, and third lines have no hyphenatable words, so there's nothing the Kindle can do. Because, despite years of complaining, it's still got a layout engine orders of magnitude worse than did software which was written for machines with a millionth of the power and memory in the late 70s. Sigh.

Some books do not have the 'enhanced typography' feature. Bring-your-own-books will not, for example.

The voice-folder makes me hope for a future audio-enabled cover, if there's no Bluetooth in the Oasis itself (hey - a girl mush have hope!) Last edited by June; 04-27-2016 at 04:25 PM. |

I don't really see any noticeable spaces. I saw a couple of very small gaps. But it wasn't like massive ______ spaces. I also noticed that she was not on the default font but a larger font. Can someone please screenshot the default or smaller font? For those that see spaces, please note that the larger the font the larger the spaces. |

It was actually my first instinct, but I think the Merlot I ended up ordering looks awesome too, but a completely different style. |

PS Got a link to that video? I'd like to see more of the brown cover. Oh, and remember: "walnut", not brown. If you search in amazon, you don't find it when you say "Kindle Oasis Brown". |

The "scratch test" is just a bit past the one minute mark. |

Now if he will run his finger the other direction, those long scratches he made will disappear. But as to the rest of the case, it looked pretty beat up already. |

I don't know why they chose different finishes for different colors. Merlot doesn't seem to look suede-ish.
