I haven’t tested this with every type of content, but if it seems like a useful feature you might want to do some experimenting with the types of content you use most. Under an app icon or Instant Video icon, you’ll see the same kinds of Pop-Up Icons as for books: more from the same developer or series if any exist, otherwise links to similar/related content. The reason why this feature is tied to email is that you can select a VIP contact from the list and then use the option to compose a new email to that person. In case you don’t know, in the Fire’s Contacts app it’s possible to mark certain contacts as “VIP”, which is sort of the same as “favoriting” them: those contacts are added to the VIP list, making them easier to find. Under the Email app icon, they provide links to Compose New Email (envelope with plus sign), Calendar (calendar) and VIP Contacts (star): Under the Amazon shopping icon, they provide links to Today’s Deals (lockbox icon), your Wishlist(s) (sparkles), and Your Orders (Amazon shipping box): For example, under a book icon, they provide links to other books by the same author or, if no other books by the same author are available on Amazon in Kindle format, similar books by other authors (tap or click on images below to view an enlarged version in a new tab or window): Pop-Up Carousel Icons provide shortcuts to other kinds of functions or content, depending on the main carousel item they’re tied to. So it was pretty much by accident that I discovered this feature. I always view the Carousel/Home screen in landscape orientation, since that view shows more of the carousel and most of the top menu ribbon. I’m using that name because these icons “pop up” under the main content icons when you view the Carousel/Home screen in portrait orientation. Case in point: Pop-Up Carousel Icons.įirst of all, this is my own, made-up term because I didn’t find anything about these in Amazon’s Fire tablet help pages or product documentation. These are the things you would never know exist unless you happen to use your Fire in a way that exposes them. There are so many Fire tablet features that aren’t necessarily hidden, but aren’t widely advertised or talked about, either. It’s your friendly KF on KND Editor April here, with a recent discovery.
