Really?? The cover problem on pdocs is a common gripe but I did not realize Amazon books are a problem -- they are fine on my Fire. One other odd cover-related problem started after the 6.3.0 update with one of my periodical subscriptions. When a new issue is available, and downloads automatically, the cover appears normally under "newsstand" but the dreaded gray cover displays on the carousel. Then something really strange occurs. 48 hours after the new issue appears, with no intervention from me, the cover suddenly appears normally on the carousel and all is well. A very strange bug indeed. This has occurred for the last two issues following the 6.3.0 update. It will be interesting to see if the problem continues.

Went to use my fire this morning and my Parental Controls are on which I did not have before. It now wants a pin number that I have never created to unlock them or reset to factory defaults. Will have to contact CS to see what happened. Going to be very angry if I have to reload all my stuff.

Is it just me or is the silk browser really quick now?
I remember thinking it wasn't so special when I first used it. Now, every site I go to seems to load like it was previously cached, which is what I expected to happen all along. |

Very welcome improvement to parental controls. Thank you Amazon for listening to us.

Not working here so little choice in Clearing the Data. I get grey covers and the white ones if I don't on the carousel. The grey covers are on Amazon books and pdocs.

I had one Amazon eBook come up with a white cover showing in the Carousel in the firmware upgrade. I just deleted it from the Carousel.
If I do a shut down, some covers in the Carousel turn white. Again, just deleting them from the Carousel corrects the problem. |

UPDATE: Back to the "sometimes it opens and sometimes it doesn't" status on some books. The plus side is I still have all the covers! |

I have 1 on the carousel and 1 in the cloud. Shutting down does nothing for me.
