There are other apps like Screen Filter. Maybe one of them will work better for you. |

Great! I've tried Dimmer (lite) and Dimmer so far and they don't work with the Fire. So any others one you know of please let me know.

Can you purchase SVOX from Appstore on the Fire? It is free, if that installs and runs, then I would recommend purchasing the SVOX 'Oliver' UK English voice for $2.99. Well, I'll certainly be trying that but am separated by 300 miles from my Fire at the moment. If you are in read mode in Mantano, just tap to bring up the menus and click the TTS button. Does anything happen? |

On my Xoom (Android 3.2) it is under 'Language & input'. It came with 'Pico TTS' which I suspect is the same as what you're hearing. SVOX is much better if only it could be installed (it is in Amazon Appstore). |

You have to purchase the voices, $2.99 each. But the app will let you sample the various voices and initiate purchase. I like 'Victoria' (UK English) if that is available. But I only see 3 voices in Amazon App store as separate listings (Grace, Michael, Oliver).

Ive had my Fire for three days now and I may send it back.
1. I love the kindle book reading text and display. But because of the narrow sides while holding it the pages turn accidently way too often. 2. It is way to slippery for me to hold comfortably. Maybe a skin would help? 3. No support for AV enabled kindle books! WTF? Couldnt load 11/22/63! 4. No support for embeded pdf in my favorite e-edition newspaper. Wont display Houston Chronicle web edition either. 5. Web browser url entering and correcting a real PIA. 6. No page numbers! 7. Calibre wont recognize it when connected to usb. Any suggestions, before I decide to return it? |
