KFHD - Silk browser removed key accessibility features
Got my new KFHD and love it...except for the Silk browser. They removed the two accessibility features I need - the ability to reflow text after zooming and the ability to zoom on all pages regardless of their settings.

These are basic accessibility features on nearly every other browser and were present on the original Kindle Fire. Why did they remove these basic accessibility features from the KFHD?

Sheesh! So within minutes of this disappointment, I got the Dolphin HD browser installed and am now totally happy with my KFHD. BTW, there are no 3rd party browsers available for the KFHD in the Amazon App Store...you have to go to GetJar or 1Mobile.

I do have to wonder about Amazon and this special browser of theirs, though. To leave out these features and then set up Silk as the only browser available, that's messed up.

Be sure to leave them feedback. On the old Fire there was a feedback app you could do this with. Accessibility features is a must and they should not remove them.
