Download PDFs to Kindle 3 Directly?
It seems there was a hack on the Kindle DX that gave users the ability to download PDFs from the web directly to their Kindle.
I would love to read Scribd pdf files on-the-go or any other PDF online, has anyone tried to port this to the Kindle 3: http://blogkindle.com/2009/07/downlo...e-dx-directly/ Thanks |

I would like to know it, too.
I've never tried above hack, but I guess this hack not available for K3. Currently, I don't know the similar config file on K3 with netfront.ini on K2 which allows us to control the file type of extension for downloading. Can anyone find this? |

There's a wrs config somewhere in /opt if memory serves me, but I don't remember if there's mime type tweaking available.

@SunLight
I saw a hack for Kindle that does something like this (among other things): http://blog.fsck.com/2009/04/savory.html http://blogkindle.com/2009/04/epub-and-pdf-support/ Maybe that would be of interest to you. |
