I got the $50 Kindle Fire 7" last week. According to both Amazon and consumer blogs, the Silk browser was supposed to have two features that I couldn't find and that seemed important. They were the "Save to Reading List" where articles could be saved for offline reading and would appear on a saved reading list . The other was being able to select Full Screen the way you can on most desktop browsers with F11.
These features were definitely not on my browser. I tried updating the browser and OS 5 but neither fixed the problem.
Yesterday, both those features suddenly appeared. Both are menu selections that are accessed by tapping an icon of three horizontal dots on the right hand side of the browser.
It would seem that Amazon pushed a new version or patch to the Silk browser, but the thing is, according to Amazon, those features were already there for months, just not on my browser. Any ideas of what was going on or experiences similar to mine?
Do any other browsers for Android have the "Save to reading List" feature? The one negative feature of Silk's reading list is that articles can't be saved to the reading list in "Reading View" (similar to "article view" in ereaders) which is a really good way to read longer articles.
