Amazon Kindle

Try test.lfgss.com for posting and let me know how it is.

And also how you feel the styles compare between old and new on the kindle. (I'm half suspecting old will be better because of the white background for now.)

I find the new site much quicker to load, navigate and use. You are right that it feels a bit weird in the reverse colour - but I strangely don't mind it at all.

Yeah, really fast, not too bad to get around (will always be a bit awkward without a touch screen or mouse), and the colours are not an issue (for me). Eink, at least with the new generation of kindles, is fine for light on dark.

Taking off on Friday for the Netherlands and Germany. Here's hoping the 3G and browser work there. If so, I'll be using the kindle for forumenging.

Some one needs to hack these things. They are surprisingly versatile. Having global 3G (which will, at least, always work with Amazon and Wiki - there must be a way to take advantage of this?) plus wifi could make them decent little wifi hotspots. It'd also be great to get some sort of email app on them. Receiving my gmails in a folder as individual books while away would be great.

I did subscribe to the IHT, so I look forward to having the paper show up everyday while away (although, the IHT seems to be relying on the Times more than it used to, a few years back).

So far, I like the Kindle.
