how do you keep from touching a link when you try to scroll? do they make a tablet that has scroll buttons?

How does it do browsing Youtube channels?

When you zoom in, can you tap to re-wrap the text in the browser?

@shaggyusm26 Are you asking if I can highlight, select and copy text on the page? If so, yes.

[shaggyusm26]

@JaymarkTech No, I'm saying when you zoom in, can you tap the screen and make the text re-format its self to fit the viewable area. It makes it so you don't have to pan left to right to read the text. Almost all smartphones have this feature.

@shaggyusm26 Sadly, double tapping slightly zooms in the browser, but no it doesn't rewrap text like on an iOS device. You'd have to manually pinch out to zoom in on items too. It really isn't that big of deal. Cool thing though is there's an app for feedback on improving the device and I've sent quite a few already. Hope Amazon listens.

@JaymarkTech Oh ok, yeah no big deal. FYI, Android devices usually support this feature. I'll experiment with the Dolphin HD Android browser on the Fire when I get it. I'm fond of Dolphin HD on my Android phone. It's generally faster and more feature rich than other browsers (in my opinion), especially stock Android browsers. If it doesn't out perform the Silk browser in speed, I'll stick to Silk. Speed is more important than re-wrapping.

@shaggyusm26 Excellent point, I hate having to pan left and right. It should simply reset to fit the screen.

Could've played a video on the browser to see how it looks.

[JaymarkTech]

@jjrdias I'm saving that for another video.

@JaymarkTech Cool.
