Anyone else notice that google maps works fine of the Kindle 3 now? So you don't need a 3rd party site anymore? I don't have the Kindle 2 any more, but I wonder if it's the same...

Welcome aboard, papapatty!

We probably don't need to put any special links here for the Kindle Fire as it has a browser capable of quickly perusing any part of the internet. These links are to pages that work well w/ the e-ink Kindles' experimental browsers and slow page-loading times.

If my googling is correct, no one has yet mentioned, in this thread, a terrific source for the best long newspaper and magazine articles:

www.longform.org

Option 1: Go to the link above on a PC, set up the Send to Kindle feature, and use it to later read the article on your eReader.

Option 2: Use the Kindle browser. I like the link when transformed by readingthenet.com and tinyurl into:
[Shortened URL deleted - MODERATOR]

The above link does not include the actual long articles, just links to them. However, the Kindle-friendly format is usually preserved when you follow the article links.

Congratulations for this amazing thread! I wish I had found out about it earlier!

For the translation: useful tool! Especially because books in other languages (French, Italian, etc...) are almost impossible to find (or at least there is a lot less variety)

Ciao!

Hi everyone! I'd love to add my website to the list, it is called Kubizo: http://www.kubizo.com. There are three sections:
1) How to change Kindle screensaver, including an automatic application that installs the screensaver. You do not need to fumble with hacks
2) A gallery of Kindle screensaver pictures
3) Coming soon (still working on it), a Kindle screensaver generator

Thanks everyone!

Wow! That looks awesome!

Do you have a "wish list" / suggestion box?

I would love to be able to either:

1. Add to the default screen savers. The stock ones do not bother me, in fact there are a few that I like, but I would love to be able to add some variety.

or...

2. Use the book covers on the Kindle as screen savers.
