![]() How to change fonts on KindleĬhanging your font style, size and thickness is really easy on Kindle. Knowing what I know today, I would not buy it.In this guide we'll show you how it's done, and regardless of whether you have a basic Kindle, the Kindle Paperwhite, an Oasis or a Scribe, the process is the same. Everything else feels more like a beta-ish device. It’s a Kindle, and the reading experience is solid. But honestly, it’s unacceptable that it takes ages to recharge. A heavy user will probably charge the Scribe three to four times a year. Last but not least, there is no quick charge support. Amazon decided that showing a low battery warning popup was helpful every time the device resumes. With 10% of battery, it may last more than a month. Grrrrr.īelow 10% of battery, it’s annoying like if there is no tomorrow. You’re reading, the device moves a bit, and the screen flips. There is no way to lock the screen rotation. That makes it hard for me to do anything without glasses except reading. For example, the overlay dictionary keeps the default font size. The worst is that you can change the books’ font size, but none of the user interface fonts. Luckily, they could be improved over time, and hopefully, they will be. The Scribe comes with a bunch of annoying software issues. It doesn’t end at the hardware power button. There is a reason why most tablets place the power button on the top and not in the middle of the frame on the bezel side, where you’re supposed to have your hand to hold the device. I accidentally push the power button so many times while reading that there are cases when I stop reading due to frustration. I wondered if Amazon ever tried it or if they randomly selected the button location by throwing darts. There is one physical button, and it’s so badly positioned that you’d like to eradicate it every single time. The bezel is on one side only, making it trivial to activate gestures with the other hand. But the problem is that the device is designed to be held with one hand only. Due to the screen size, you need both hands on the device to turn pages in many cases. The touch-only interaction style also makes turning pages with only one hand more challenging than required. Reading experience disruption is just around the corner. The problem is that sometimes it changes more than one page at a time, and you need to know in which direction. Or you’re reading on the couch and accidentally touch the screen, and boom, page turned. Touch is too sensitive, and sometimes page changes happen randomly. I miss my old Kindle physical buttons to change pages, for example. Overall, the touch experience is poor, if not worse. Wait for the notebook’s screen to appear.When you need to take notes promptly, the workflow works more or less like the following: My most significant remark is that the overall writing experience could be faster. I also tried the reMarkable 2, and the Scribe is comparable. It’s not bad writing on the Scribe is a pleasure. Pen and paper outclass the writing experience easily. Let’s have a look at my overall experience. Not to mention that battery life is still significant. Yes, you’re reading it right, it’s 11 years old, and it’s still functioning very well and receiving updates from time to time. It also means that they’ll support it for a very long time. That means it comes with a rock-solid reading experience and the Amazon Kindle store. For example, I prefer not to wear them while reading in bed. The big screen and font size help in reading without glasses. I fully charged it only once when I received it in December 2022. Why all this fuss about eventual consistency? It's everywhere! » Eight months with the Kindle Scribe
