Media Queries: Kindle Fire vs Kindle e-ink.

gistfile1.txt

@media screen and (device-aspect-ratio:1/1) {
        /* anything in here will work on Fires. Seriously. */
}

@media not all and (device-aspect-ratio:1/1) {
        /* anything in here will work on e-inks */
}

This is the hackiest media query ever, but it does (currently) work. I maybe wouldn’t recommend using this unless you plan to keep an eye on device specs every time they release a new device. AND then you’d have to re-submit all of your titles.

so far this has been tested on the following:

• Kindle Paperwhite (2nd Gen)
• 4th Gen Kindle
• Late 2012 Kindle Fire HD 7
• Late 2013 Kindle Fire HD 7

the dumbest thing about this media query is that the Fire doesn’t care what value is assigned to device-aspect-ratio. you could do 1024/800, 19/6,1/1, 50/50. You can’t however just give it a number (say, like 1.6).

@dvschultz Any idea if this still works? :)

This does still work AFAICT, tested it on a 1st gen Kindle Fire vs. a 2nd gen Kindle Paperwhite.
