bouldercroft Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I splashed out on a kindle for my trip so I could reduce the number of books I needed to carry. I'm quite impressed so far - great battery life - clear and bright reading (even on a very sunny beach) - fast downloads (very impressed that it took just a few minutes to download a book with the 3G service on a Caribbean beach). My only complaint is that one of my downloads seems a bit weird - missing some spaces on a few sentences and the font is HUGE. Anyone else seen these issues?

Snowy Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi, yes I had one of those! I just adjusted the font as required on mine, it seemed to vary every few pages i didn't do anything about it, but I did receive a replacement download for another book that they said had had problems (although I hadn't noticed them). There must be a way of reporting these things, I just haven't tried it yet (I'd forgotten about my problem book until I read this! ) Worth complaining about though!

ThinkingChickens Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I love my Kindle and have been using it for about a year. One way to increase the already long battery life is to turn off your wireless internet when you aren't using it. As far as any books downloading weird, you can have Amazon reload it, or you can just delete it and resend which usually fixes the problem. I've downloaded about 100 books and only had this happen twice so it's a rarity for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I downloaded a wotsit the other day which was supposed to display page numbers. Haven't a clue how to activate it. Anyone got any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Yes I got that as well, but haven't noticed any page numbers appearing! I did wonder if it was only on certain books that had already been set up for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
