Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/29/2023 Primarily geared to Kindle Users. Extension updated Updated March 2, 2023 Light/Dark, Font, Text Size options. Ben, it works in a standard sense, but I don't use Kindle which is it's main purpose.

Natali Natali (ID: 0000005efdaa4ca5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/28/2023 Задумка хорошая, но при открытии сайтов приходится нажимать на расширение чтобы оно работало...автоматически не запускает

Matt Wilson (ID: 000000d56fe9857c) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/17/2023 Doesn't work on Edge or Chrome. Bummer. I click the icon and the icon goes dark. I right click the icon and select "Open in Postlight Reader" and nothing happens. And I see no troubleshooting or FAQ on the developer's site.

Benuel Ganesan (ID: 0000001dcb4f1a58) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/10/2023 Send to Kindle feature is showing the document now as "anonymous", random numbers as title and for a single article a "table of contents" feature. Not sure why.

Adolfo Grosso (ID: 000000d1e70855d9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/31/2023 How to switch to dark mode?, I can't find that option Cómo se cambia al modo oscuro?, no encuentro esa opción.
