Alt+1 for what? There are some things that don’t work on Kindle DX like the line spacing shortcuts.

Just purchased a Kindle DX and it appears that the ALT-1 will not work on this version.

Is there an updated short cut key list for the Kindle DX?

Oh. Yes, that was a Kindle 1 feature and didn’t know it was removed.
They might have removed it. Because it wasn’t carried forward to Kindle 2.

You should check with Amazon’s Kindle customer support.

I’m sorry, what?
When I press Alt+1 from the Basic web on my Kindle 1 (probably latest software update), it takes me to a google maps mobile page. In the search box are the words “Not avail, Not avail”. Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough last time.
So, do you think that they removed the triangulation feature? Will it always show “not avail, not avail” or can i fix it?

Don’t remember that. It’s not there on the Kindle 2.

Alt+1 to get location. That would really stink if they took out the triangulation on the update–seems like it would be very useful.

Tried which one?

Some of the features might have been removed in the Kindle 1.2 upgrade. If you let me know what’s ‘not available’ will check and update here.

I tried this on the kindle 1 and got “Not avail,not avail”. Why do you think this is the case? (sorry i’m a year later =D)

Don’t forget Alt-Shift (0-9) to change text spacing in Reader Mode. I can’t believe all these undocumented shortcuts. Many were taken out after the last updates. GPS locator won’t work. It’s these undocumented and unauthorized contents that could be causing the Kindle to work so slowly. Just tried to load CNN and it told almost 3 minutes to load. That’s worst than dial up (33 kbps). Terrible.
