I have a yuge problem with kindle. I use the app on apple devices and it’s perfect. But my mom with Alzheimer’s is given her kindle at night so she can read whenever she wants if she wakes. She’s very happy with doing that. It’s right in her hospital bed with her. She knows how to turn the pages.

Problem is: she can’t learn, and touching the screen often makes the settings come up and her hand accidentally lowers or raises the font to ridiculous (small or large) sizes.

I asked kindle / amazon if there was a way to lock the settings so that you could freeze the font etc for people with special needs. lock it in to your desired size. THERE IS NO WAY TO FREEZE THE SETTINGS so my mom won’t mess them up.

The only problem I’ve had with my Kindle Fire HD 8, is that the location setting continually turns off by itself. From time to time, I’ll try to check the weather on it, and it will tell me the location setting is off, and then I’ll have to turn it back on. I’ve had it almost two years, and it’s done it from the beginning.
