And my fonts menu works. <br /><br /> There are two things you can try. One is to hold the ON button for 20+ seconds, ignoring the dialog box, and that will do a 'restart' (soft reboot that clears memory). Then press again to turn it back on. It'll pause while it collects itself. Things may be fine after that.<br /><br /> Another way to do it is to go to <br /> Home / Settings / Device options / Menu again / Restart<br /><br />Once the Kindle restarts, the display settings may work as they should.<br /><br /><br />IF NOT, try <br /> Home / Settings / Device options / Menu again / Reset Deivce<br /><br /> Resetting the device may remove NON-Kindle books and documents but all your Kindle books will be there.<br /><br /> Then after the Kindle starts again, do<br /> Home / Settings / Sync and Check for Items<br /><br />This latter step has helped a couple of people.<br /><br />If NONE of that works, call Kindle Support at 866-321-8851<br /> or go to <a href="http://amzn.to/kcallme" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.to/kcallme</a> <br />and choose to get a phone call from them. It takes a couple of seconds for them to call you.<br /><br /> Then they can see what else to try with their help.<br /><br /> Hope that helps. Let me know if it does or doesn't.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-80059149521372840282016-04-06T22:40:28.431-07:002016-04-06T22:40:28.431-07:00I encounter the same problem after upgraded my Pap...I encounter the same problem after upgraded my Paperwhite V1 to version 5.6.1.1.

The Display Settings box locks whenever I attempt to change the font size or style. I've tested it on four different books. Paperwhite doesn't respond even when touching outside of the Display Settings box. Restart required to get it to respond again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-63329901147680420242015-07-21T10:51:47.510-07:002015-07-21T10:51:47.510-07:00Tom, I'd forgotten that pinch/spread (or narro...Tom, I'd forgotten that pinch/spread (or narrow) changes the font size. Thanks for that.<br /><br /> I tried to update the comments the other day but it didn't "take" apparently. I left WiFi On and my v6.6.1.1 software update did arrive and was installed on the old Paperwhite 1. I tried several font changes on two books and had no freezing issues, so I think it may have been a particular book (with publisher's special formatting) that caused what Rik saw...<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-21554347121905137792015-07-20T18:31:05.075-07:002015-07-20T18:31:05.075-07:00I'd echo Andrys' question: is it specific ...I'd echo Andrys' question: is it specific to one book or to all books? I've seen specific books with performance issues when tapping a footnote reference, but it did 'come back' when I waited a minute or two. In that case it was a formatting issue caused by having excessive (and redundant) nesting of div tags.<br /><br />Note that you can ordinarily tap anywhere outside of the Display Settings popup to dismiss it, and not just on the 'X'. And pinch/spread gesture is a shortcut for changing font size down/up.<br />Tom Semplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127272649086914117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-4917791400838977132015-07-19T19:19:38.882-07:002015-07-19T19:19:38.882-07:00Most the changes are minimal, but I revile the sea...Most the changes are minimal, but I revile the search changes!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-8361639520550342262015-07-14T02:34:03.602-07:002015-07-14T02:34:03.602-07:00Rik, thanks for the feedback.

I went to my Paperwhite 1 and saw that it's still at v5.4.4.2 - I generally have WiFi Off, to save battery, and I guess that's on reason it's not been updated.<br /><br />You mention this happened with a book. Have you tried this with another book? I ask because some books come with the publisher's own preferred font and may be more prone to problems with font changes.<br /><br />Hope you've reported this to kindle-feedback@amazon.com ...<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-36024743490792452282015-07-13T14:31:17.751-07:002015-07-13T14:31:17.751-07:00CAUTION: Kindle PaperWhite v1 locks on font screen...CAUTION: Kindle PaperWhite v1 locks on font screen with 5.6.1.1<br />I just updated my wife's PaperWhite to firmware v 5.6.1.1, and now when we try to adjust the font size (Aa) it locks on the font selection screen. The font of the book actually changes in the background, but pressing the "X" in the upper right will not close the font screen, and the only solution is to restart the device.RedpointRikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541585965046174369noreply@blogger.com
