[nfbcs] Kindle Fire tablet

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hi buddy,
I have not really played with the granularity settings yet. I find that sometimes I have to tap on the screen three times in order for me to activate an icon I know that voice you says to double tap but even if I double tap slowly nothing seems to happen.

It's good for something that costs $49, but as with previous Fire tablets (like the first one I bought), it seems to me that gestures have to be quite exaggerated to be properly recognized. Some gestures are also a bit non-intuitive, but at least the settings to change granularity, among other things, are not using a circle gesture anymore.
