I’m trying to learn some stuff during work. I can bring a laptop in but bringing in two laptops (work and personal) is a pain. I had thought to get around that by using a kindle fire but kana doesn’t seem to be displaying properly (at least in season 2).
The weird thing is that when I copy the text and paste it into another doc or address bar it reverts to kana. So far か the rest in chapter 2 aren’t displaying properly. I’m not sure about other chapters as this is the first time I’ve used the kindle but the characters in memorize show up fine.
I also noticed this in the forums as the katakana member (ma-ku ue-ba-) name is showing up as… kanji maybe? Except I can’t find it in the radical search at jisho
Anybody happen to know about this or have a fix?Sorry I have no experience with kindle.
You wrote the following in your post:
“So far か the rest in chapter 2 aren’t displaying properly.”
Do you see the か in your post on your kindle?
Yeah, sorry for the poor English there and the delay.
The correct symbol occurs when I cut and paste the other symbol into anything. So it displayed properly in my post and when I pasted it into Jisho.
What shows up on the site seems to alternate between something close to the following two symbols: 狂 (but it’s missing a couple of drop radicals) and 芋生. At least for か.I nearly peed myself when Koichi wrote: “Hopefully you can read the kana in the title”.
Does it perhaps have some type of translation thing where it might be converting kana to romanji or kanji automatically?
That’s what I’m thinking. The only language type setting I can find to change is the keyboard but that didn’t help. The strange thing is (as far as I can tell) japanese websites seem to work (at least the links in the hiragana42 pdf) and so do at least a couple of the lessons in memrise.
I did kinda find a work around. Textfugu works on my coworker’s smartphone so we trade when our breaks match as he likes reading off the larger screen. I’ll continue to check settings on the kindle to see if I can figure out what the problem is (maybe I just need a software update or something) and will post back if I figure it out.
すみません for taking the time to help me.
NP, good luck!
I couldn’t find a way to get it to work in the silk browser either but it does work in dolphin browser.
As I recall the rendering and loading on the Silk browser is done on an Amazon server and sent to your device and I can imagine this is causing the problem. There may be a setting in the Silk browser to render on the device.
I just looked it up quickly, it does seem to do this to speed up page loading(and maybe for marketing purposes?), this is an older article but I’d imagine the process is similar if it has been changed. Basically, turn off page loading acceleration.
I wonder if that will help, worth a shot at least.
It did!! Thanks so much for that :)
So it does display the kana properly when this feature is deactivated?
Didn’t work for me, kana was still showing up as crazy kanji.
However, installing dolphin did work (although it was annoying as crap – meaning it took about 10 minutes to do so.) I’m sure textfugu would work with chrome or firefox, but I haven’t liked their mobile versions yet.
Dolphin isn’t available on the amazon app store (jerks) so a couple of ways to install:
Way 1 (a little more complicated but everything is from a trusted source – this is what I did)
1. Download “ES file loader” from kindle app store and install.
2. Swipe down from top. Touch “more”, then “device”, then turn on “allow installation of applications from unknown sources”.
3. On computer, go to google play and download dolphin.
4. Plug in kindle to computer, transfer dolphin apk to download folder in kindle.
5. On kindle, open ES file loader. Go to download folder and install dolphin.Way 2
1. Swipe down from top. Touch “more”, then “device”, then turn on “allow installation of applications from unknown sources”.
2. Use Silk to download and install an app store app such as good e reader or 1mobile.
3. Run the app store app, search for Dolphin. Download and install.Way 3
