Troubleshooting fonts very thin

comet · 07-19-2011, 04:03 PM

Hallo,

when I open today an ebook from one of my collections I observe the following: First the title of the book on the collection-screen becomes black, then the book opens and at the place, where former the title was, the fonts are very thin. I must turn the page and return to get normal looking fonts. Using another ebook the observation is principally the same, but if the book uses dark fonts the phenomenon is not so distinct.
My Kindle is two months old and today I observed that phenomenon for the first time. Is that behaviour normal or is it a sign that my Kindle starts malfunction?

Try restarting it. The normal fonts are too thin for me anyway so I always change everything to bold before I put them on it.

I already tried to restart, but this doesn't change the behaviour.

I have been having the same problem. My fonts appear very light almost the same shade the amazon logo on the top of the kindle. I also have the DX which I loaded the book onto to make sure it wasn't just part the books... it's not.

And did you observe the phenomenon incessantly or only in certain situations?

Restart doesn't change anything for me :-(
