After getting upset over how hard it is to add a bookmark or two to the Kindle Web Browser, or even to just go to a web page, I thought I would write a Mobi book of them myself to make it much easier to open a link. It is not exactly a Kindle Hack/Modification, but I think it is worth having a post of it on here.
Here is my
About section on Google Sites of my Kindle Web Bookmarks:
Quote:
Kindle Web Bookmarks is a customized collection of web bookmarks based on this site: The Web Bookmarks. You can find the latest version of my site at Kindle Web Bookmarks.
Every time the site is updated you may automatically convert all the information into a MobiPocket format book, send it to an e-reader via Whispernet (or manually copy it to your Kindle using a computer and a usb connection), and browse the Internet from the Kindle home page.
Downloading of the updated bookmarks is very simple if you use calibre free e-book library manager. All you need to do is: download the python recipe here; and add a custom news fetch in calibre. You may also download the latest version of Kindle Web Bookmarks in MobiPocket format here.
Fore those who would like to use their own collection of bookmarks here is the template I used by thearr (hmi@ya.ru). You may build your own web bookmarks collections based on it and use the same python recipe to convert them into MobiPocket format.

I handpicked most of these links, and the majority should work on the Kindle. Most link to mobile versions of popular sites. There are over 800 links. They all fall under several categories:
