![]() – blundering girls getting into one scrape after another. – girls pretending to be disabled in order to take advantage of people – heroines adopting masked identities to secretly help people – girls who were put under a curse or came into possession of apparently supernatural objects which adversely affected their lives, but of which they were unable to rid themselves until they worked out how – girls becoming unpopular because events keep conspiring to make them appear jealous or selfish – spiteful girls cause trouble for an unsuspecting cousin, foster-sister or classmate – girls enduring blackmail, hardship, or unpopularity to protect a secret (often on behalf of their family) * Trapped by intentional spite (with a sub-text of ‘secrets’): ![]() – orphans forced to live with cruel or uncaring relatives – girls slaving for cruel employers or criminals – cruel factories, shops, boarding schools or workhouses * Trapped by cruel or unheeding authority: I’ve taken the liberty of pasting the list at British Comics (consider it a quote) and then further grouped these into over-arching categories. Especially so as in the UK we have the ‘new baby boom’ moving into this demographic. This seems rather useful market knowledge for writers of books and comics, as such basic psychology don’t change much at its core and this audience is today a prime demographic. Thomson formula at Mandy, once an enormously popular pre-80s weekly comic, read by nearly all British girls in middle-childhood and produced by a firm that knew exactly what their audiences wanted (rather than what it was politically correct to give them). My next 10″ tablet may not be a Kindle.īritish Comics blog today distils part of the D.C. Thankfully we don’t have to put up with Android on a 10″ any more, and the Microsoft Surface 3 Intel Atom x7-Z8700 can now be had for around £240 and runs good old Windows. Still, I guess having no Carousel on the Fire means no Amazon ads on the Home tab either. How can such a vital thing be missing from the overcrowded world of Android apps? I guess ‘recent files + carousel + cover thumbnails’ simply can’t be technically done on Android, or else someone would have made a small fortune from such an app. The lack of even one single valid result suggests that nothing exists. I then searched intensively for two hours. APK which also shows cover thumbnails in a nice carousel? Is there really no “show newly arrived / recent documents”. Nor does a Google Search for android “recent documents” carousel discover anything, amazingly. Thus nothing useful can be found there under searches such as “launcher”, “new documents”, “recent documents”, “new files”, “carousel” etc. The Amazon kindle app store has turned into even more of a wasteland than it was before, if such a thing is possible. Or, for purchased and newly re-downloaded books, the Books tab. To find my ‘newly arrived items’, sent through as a test, I had to dig down into the file system via the file reader in either the MReader (.ePubs) or PDF Reader (.PDFs) apps. They arrive fine, but they don’t appear on Home. Since no newly delivered / purchased / sent-to-Kindle items can show up on the Home tab. The Kindle Fire KD is now just another Android tablet. ![]() So after several hours of trying to fix the problem it seems it can’t be fixed. Adding “Favorites” for Books also appears to be long gone. It appears that Amazon has completely removed the new-items “Carousel” in some recent Android OS update. I’m talking about the “newly arrived items” Carousel, not the “currently opened apps” Carousel. Today I finally ‘Factory Reset’ my Kindle Fire HD 10″ (2017).Īll works fine, but… there’s now no “Carousel” on the Home tab at all.
