Hello,

I am using Kindle for PC on windows xp and i have a problem when i am using the dictionary. If i want to see the definition of some word i look in the dictionary pop up window but the text in the pop up window is very blurry and it is hard to read. I searched for some settings if i can change the text appearance, but i couldn't find. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Thanks!

The pop-up window does use some strange fonts in the definition, especially for italics, and it's definitely not as readable as the screen is normally. It's also a fixed size, so doesn't get bigger if you've got the book font bigger.

If you hit "full definition", you'll get the full dictionary entry on the screen in your preferred font size and that's much clearer, but of course you'll then have to use "back" to go back to where you were reading.

Nowhere that I can see where you can change this.

You could try sending feedback to Amazon (Help...Send Feedback) and see if they take any notice.
