Edit Browser Bookmarks File
Does anyone know the location of this file and if it can be edited in a text editor?
I'm hoping to change the item order and add a few bookmarklets. |

I made my own bookmark ebook. I made a document of categorized links (I use Pages on Mac and export it, but you can do it with most word processors) and when I want to update it, I just run it through Calibre or send email to Amazon to convert.

FYI, it's in /var/local/java/prefs/browser/bookmarks_wv
But it's a slightly binary-looking format, and I'm not a java developper, so you'll have to figure out the rest . |

Thanks, in fact I found it today myself. Perhaps a Java editor can open it? It looks like an array.

Hmm. I have Windows set to show hidden/system/whatever files and folders but do not see that folder or file.
K3 here. I see the system folder. |

FF2, you need to login to the K3 with SSH to see the full file structure. Search the forum for "usbnetwork" for instructions, its pretty easy to do.

I tried making a simple text edit to the bookmarks file and it wasn't successful, the Kindle just displayed a blank page of bookmarks.
Any ideas how to access the web history or the web cache files anyone? |

It's probably somewhere in /var/local... (Not home right now, no way to give an exact location )

There is an editor for the bookmarks file. Check this thread.
