7/13/2023 0 Comments Kindle brightness control![]() I had all of this with a simple finger-tap before and now I have to remember all the gestures that make me not be reading on my smartphone in the first place The options that used to fit in one easy menu now require three, all of which are mostly empty space. I used the back button all the time, and there's almost no reason now for me to even go looking for it (and frankly there's no reason there couldn't be a back button in the top menu. The back button is borked-yes, I know it exists in a swipe-up menu, but it does not work the way it did before AT ALL. I *really* dislike the new setup and overnight I have basically gone from 'I love my paperwhite' to considering the android reader my spouse keeps trying to set me up with. For those of us who use the Kindle as a tool for multiple types and styles of reading, the now limited back button function is a MAJOR loss of functionality and feasibility for use. This is the primary complaint I am seeing beyond aesthetics and book ad placements from the new upgrade as I check discussion boards around the internet. Please include a multi step back and forward function in the next Kindle upgrades. Yes, bookmarks could be used but muddies the primary purpose of the bookmarking and highlighting which is to mark things you want to return to again and again, not just temporarily as you navigate a book. Trying to navigate nonfiction and cross reference multiple items now requires either a great human brain to remember locations or note taking off screen. The usability of the Kindle for anything beyond straightforward fiction reading is severely hampered by this update. So you can no longer easily page through multiple books for reference and study by using a multi step back button. Even that limited memory for within the book is lost if one navigates to the home menu. For book browsing and studying, this is disastrous. However, the new back and forward buttons only keep the memory for one step back and one step forward. I do know of the back button's new location with a bottom swipe up screen which also includes a forward button. ![]() The functionality is overall fine but the new back button functionality is severely limited.
