![]() I’ve just discovered that Amazon has provided a solution to this problem: Silk Browser Reading View! Of course I know I can zoom in to enlarge the text, but then navigation becomes a chore because I must swipe around to bring the scrollbars or “Next Page” links back into view. Having so much mixed content in such a small space also makes it difficult for me to focus on the text I’m trying to read. When all of that content is crammed into a web page that’s been shrunk down to a size that fits on my Fire’s 7″ screen, it’s hard to navigate around the page without accidentally tapping on a link. This is because many of the websites I frequent are pretty ‘busy’: their pages are filled with images, ads, and heavily formatted text in various blocks. Also note, Reading View is only available on sites where text-only view has been enabled by the site owner/administrator, and only when viewing an individual article/post (as opposed to viewing a site’s homepage).Īs much as I love my Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD devices, one of the features I’ve rarely used on them is the Silk web browser. **11/11/13 UPDATE** Note that the Silk Browser Reading View feature described in this post is available in the first-generation, non-HD Fire, but is only accessible through the Silk browser Options menu on that device. Access this menu by tapping near the bottom of the screen with the Silk browser open.
