Accessing websites directly on Kindle
Following a tip from Hadrien (Feedbooks.com), I found that it is easier to access the websites I visit, directly by creating a .prc file with links on them. I first created a word file with weblinks and then converted it to a .prc file using Mobicreator. This saves a few clicks by first going to Menu, and then Experimental and then clicking on Bookmarks. Here is a file I created that you can place in the Documents folder on your Kindle and try it yourself. I still don't know how to create links to books and documents on my Kindle itself.

Since I am a novice and have never edited or created a .prc file myself, I am not sure I understand what these commands and syntax etc mean. It is easy for me to create a Word file and add a hyperlink. Hadrien, do you know what I would type, instead of the usual http:\\ etc in Word to access a book on the Kindle. As Nate had indicated some time ago, this will help us create a nice index of all the books on the Kindle instead of the flat format in the Kindle.

I don't know if there's an easy way for you to find the DatabaseName. Well... I can already imagine a few things for Feedbooks once again. Can you sort the books by author name ? I could generate a file on Feedbooks with all the previously download files for a member, sorted by date, author, genre etc... |

I would like it if they added "bookmarks" to the home page menu, right up there with "shop".
I hope they keep basic web functions, and keep them free for users. It's been a pleasant and unexpected benefit for me -- I didn't realize I could do so much on the web from the Kindle until I started playing around on it. The only thing I haven't been able to do is get to my AOL mail (yes, I'm one of those people...). I have noticed that when I spend a lot of time on the web, my battery life is shortened considerably. Makes sense, I guess, since it's using the EVDO network the whole time. Last edited by janiebegood; 12-31-2007 at 08:57 AM. |
