Re: Setting brightness to 0 on Kindle app bug
Raul, You know after I got stuck when setting it to zero and had to reinstall, I didn't go back in there and just left it as it was. (lol) Best, Rick alfaro On 5/8/2013 11:18 PM, Raul A.

Does anyone have the email address for reporting something like this? I think those of us that can duplicate this should email Amazon.

Re: Setting brightness to 0 on Kindle app bug
Hi Rick, it is enough to set the brightness to a value less than 100 to produce the effects you described: the left and right flick gestures do not work anymore. Anyway, you could continue to use the various menu options moving your finger around the screen directly on the menu choices and tap them. To get back the menu to normal, I mean, to turn the left/right single finger flicks working as usual, just set the Kindle app brightness value to 100 again. This way, in my experience, the app reinstall process is not needed. Mario. At 18:24 08/05/2013, Rick Alfaro wrote: I'm pretty sure someone else posted regarding this, I think it was Raul.
