Kindle App on Max2 (Firmware 2.1.2)
Hey there,
Does the Kindle app run properly on your Max2? Installation and opening books etc. are all good, but I can't turn the pages either using the touch screen or the page turn buttons - there's just no response at all, or the page would jump mysteriously to a random page. Strangely, this one single book in my library has no problems mentioned above; probably due to the special page layout? https://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Book-A...al-text&sr=1-2 Is it just me or you all have the same thing? Is Onyx working on a fix? Any tips to get the Kindle app to behave on Max2? Thanks! |

Long press the Kindle icon. When the small window pops up, tap "Optimize". When the Optimization screen comes up, look for Animation Timeout. Tap "None" on the far right of where "Animation Timeout" is. Change the value to 300. Leave that window and try the Kindle app again. Page-turning should work much better. |

It works! Thank you so much; I'm loving my Max2 even more now
By the way the "Use Page Key as Volume Key" option is checked by default. I tried to be clever and unchecked the box. Turns out you need to leave it checked in order for the page keys to work. Back to the books; thanks again! |

This will also help on other reading apps if the page-turning seems too slow.
Glad it worked for you! |

One more thing: every time the Kindle app updates, you may need to apply this fix again!
