That's not the issue I'm having. It doesn't let me type in the box at all. It's like a 'dead' spot that doesn't even recognize that I'm tapping it. So weird....
This is the only forum where I actually post that doesn't have it's own app. I guess it's good in a way - you know I have something REALLY important to say if I fire up the laptop!
Maybe it's just your fingers? My fingers are small but I find that my fingernails are so unreasonably thick that I can't type on anything with a touch-screen.
Have you tried using a stylus? (Like a little pen that you use one the touch-screen.)
EDIT: Wait you're able to log in, right? So that couldn't be it.
Yeah, no problems logging in. The Kindle is a few years old now, so maybe it's just an issue with it being "ancient" in technology years. Sad, isn't it??
