and when did you stop beating your wife?
if you want to congratulate others on their lack of reading comprehension, then be my guest.
And I appreciate the medical advice, but would you mind from here on out if I just ignore you?

It is a criticism. But it's not a rant or a complaint. Please re-read my post, sir.

The OP can make his comments, just as others are allowed to point out that the kindle is not an internet device, but an reader. So maybe I just dont need a rest, thanks.

It's not important. Peace

You leap on this guy, ganging up on him because he dared to criticize your beloved Kindle, and then you say he's over-reacting!

His criticisms were pertinent and I learned something. It seems the K3 browser, despite being an advance in one direction, is actually a bit harder to use in practice than the K2. This is interesting. Perhaps through discussion solutions can be found.

I'm jumping in here with my opinion. The original post wasn't clear on what its object was. There was the statements about how the poster preferred the browser on the K2, and then the question "am I missing something?"

That one question has multiple ways to be interpreted, the one I read into it is "what am I not seeing about the browser?" If the poster wanted to know tips or tricks, they should have said so, not expected that everyone would read into the question what the poster wanted.

That said, I'm not attacking the OP, just clarifying why no help was forthcoming, probably. I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax.

OH, and I have no tips or tricks, I've only had my K3 since Christmas, and never had a Kindle before.

I didnt mean to sound like I was jumping on the guy, I was just amused. Its like comparing how your old car flies so much better than your new one does. I prefer a dedicated reader anyways, if I've got internet its too distracting.
