The KFv1 isn't like that. The fonts are nice. Lots of Sans Serifs to choose from. Arial, Trebuchet and Verdana.

Do you copy the metadata.opf along with the book and jpg? Where did you download Mantano and was it $7? Why couldn't you use that on the Fire HD too? Maybe it doesn't work for the Fire HD, as I was reading Amazon and someone said it didn't work on the Fire HD. Thanks Blossom. Last edited by new; 11-04-2012 at 04:31 PM. |

AZW3 is like epub. It's KF8 format so its settings wont be overwritten like a mobi file is, Sideloaded because KF8 isn't supported through the personal documents service. Mantano works fine on the HD. The newer versions is just buggy. I paid $5 for it when it was on sale. It must be sideloaded though. Amazon wont let you install it from the app store. It's a whole competition thing. You can buy it from SlideME or use another device to get it from the app store using like an Android cell phone. Mantano is one of the best epub eReader apps out there. It has collections and everything you could want in a epub app. It's totally customizable. Last edited by Blossom; 11-04-2012 at 12:25 AM. |

If this works for changing fonts couldn't you have used this for a new KFHD? Just wondered. You are so helpful with the Fire I will be sorry to see you go to another toy. |

I put the free version, Mantano Lite, on my Fire this morning, via Getjar I think. Very nice. Don't see how to change fonts or background color. Is that only available in the paid app?

I don't know about the free version but on the paid you edit the theme to change those settings. You can change colors, font, line spacing and margins.

Don't do this. I read on Mobileread someone had downloaded an app that said does not work on Kindle Fire HD and it worked. Mine did not. I downloaded Wi-fi pro. I hope that one works. It did download. I just want easier ways to get my "stuff". |

If you have access to Google Play the $2.99 version is well worth the price. It does everything you need it to do. Last edited by Blossom; 11-05-2012 at 05:44 PM. |

I'm probably going to get an Android phone....AT&T GoPhone has a $25 a month plan. I have an android Nook Color, also...but I tried getting a paid game from that onto the Fire, and totally failed. So I doubt if I could do it with any app lol.

The 1Mobile downloads fine for me. Just click the arrow next to Install and choose PC. This free version does allow themes. The lite version does not.

On 1Mobile just click the arrow by the install button and choose PC. You want the Free version not the lite.
Nook has it's own app. You can install it on the KF. |
