OK, a bit frustrating to say the least when you are trying to find out the type of Kindle Fire you have 1st or second generation and you send a .mobi file to someone who also has a a Kindle Fire to find out there are a lot of discrepancies and huge differences that I had no choice but to ask here to here we go
I would think that somewhere in my Kindle it would tell me which version I have 1st or second. Can't find there or the user guide so the only thing I can do is write that in the device tab it lists
internal storage 5.37gb and a serial number. How do I know which KF I have?
Second
if I'm in a book ( .mobi) and I hit the font icon I get a font style tab a typeface tab and 8 Aa sizes 3 line spaces
in typeface I have Georgia, Caecillia Trebuchet
Verdana, Arial, Times NR, Courier and Lucinda.
The person I'm speaking with also has a Kindle Fire and he has different fonts in the list. But yet if we both choose a font we both have (Georgia) and look at the same .mobi file he sees the pages differently ( line spacing and font size)
but the weirdest of all is if I look at a page of a mobi which starts with a sentence and ends with another sentence why is it that the person with the other Kindle Fire does not see the same thing as he does not have the same menu I do ?
they see the page text carrying over to a other page even though we are looking at the same document (.mobi) same font, same size?
Then I notice If I attempt to change the line spacing swipe a few pages front and back, then go back to another line space setting the page now displays the text either in the middle of the page or at the bottom ( in other words it changes the way it looked in the first setting )
This is causing huge problems for me as I'm trying to do a mobi for someone and we both have Kindle Fire's yet he is not seeing what I'm seeing as shouldn't we see the exact same thing?
any help as this is confusing and causing alot of frustration.
thx
