Notes

Kindle’s kindle.gestures API recognizes taps and only coarse swipe directions (up, down, left, right), not precise finger paths or endpoints. This makes traditional “press-and-drag to draw” impossible.

To work around this, Kreate provides multiple drawing modes so you can choose exactly what to place — dots, lines, or curves.

Kreate automatically adapts to any Kindle screen size and model.
