Kindles keep forgetting fonts
Hey, I have been reading a lot on Kindle lately but am also kind of annoyed by the fact that my Scribe as well as my PW6 keep forgetting the font associated with the template.
This happens with custom fonts as well as stock fonts and personal document books as well as store-bought books. Any template occasionally reverts back to Bookerly after waking a device from deep sleep (and of course when switching templates...) I have tried saving the correct fonts to the templates numerous times but no luck... Are there any known solutions to this other than writing to Amazon in the hope that they are actually fixing it. |

Yeah, this annoying but started at 5.16.10.
If you don’t have JB, there is no way to revert to 5.16.9 |

Unfortunately I don’t have a jailbreak.
Good that it’s a know problem so Amazon is probably going to fix it at some point. My Kindle Scribe also turns really laggy from this now and the only way to fix it is a restart… |

Sometimes Kindles have another problem with side loaded fonts.
You pick an eBook to read. You select the side loaded font you are going to use and all is fine. You pick a newly loaded eBook and the font does not show up. Under the Aa menu you see the font you picked so you have to pick a different font and then the font you want again to get it to show up. |
