Soft keys issue with Kindle app

---

Quick note, wanted to see if there's an easy fix. In the Kindle app, there is a slider on the bottom of the screen that allows you to quickly move through the book. Pretty important. Unfortunately, the NC's "soft keys" obscure almost the entire slider, so if you're very very very lucky you can grab it and move through the pages, but are more likely to do something else - hit a soft button, turn the Kindle menu off, or nothing.

Is there an easy fix for this? A quick but temporary way to dismiss the soft keys? Something?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Bump ... anyone seeing this?
