I have now mastered my Kindle having got wifi!! one small problem, two of the books have such smallprint I canlt read them and canlt work out how to change the font size - shallpop into Curry's in Abergavenny tomorrow and I know they'll o it for me

I think it's amazing that you can be on your computer downloading a book and it appears on my Kindle which is upstairs on my bed - fantastic!!!

Ah - ha! The font problem!

Assuming we have the same sort....

Open the book you are reading

On the Kindle is a 'little house' (home) icon/button
To the immediate left of that is a key with horizonal bars on it - it just looks like lines of pretend text if you aren't using a magnifier. Press that.

2nd option on the list which appears is 'Change Font Size'. Scroll and select. Use the left or right hand toggles on the central key to choose the size which is likely to be the best for you.

You may need to have a couple of goes at changing the font to suit your preferences, and may have to change it again when you start another book with different print size.

Glad it worked :-D

Now a question of my own..

Under 'experimental' is Launch browser to connect to the internet.

Has anyone had any success with that? When ever I've tried, the text is so tiny, and the increase in font size to read it fails to hold.

I've also found it difficult to navigate with the buttons. :-0

Any tips please?
