Hates Magic Mouse

My number one problem with the Kindle app is how it works (or doesn’t work) with Apple’s Magic Mouse. That Magic Mouse has a touch-sensitive surface for scrolling, which is a joy in every other app. However, if your mouse pointer happens to be over the Kindle window (even if the Kindle app is in the background) and your finger brushes the surface of the mouse every so slightly, your Kindle book will scroll MANY pages away from its current location. Then you have to switch to the Kindle app, figure out whether the book scrolled forward or backward and laboriously return to the page you were on.

Amazon has been aware of this problem for at least 5 years and yet they choose not to fix it. And the fix is SOOO simple. If I wrote code like that, I would fire myself. Just a really bad engineering decision.
