Finally able to use my new K3. Non-mobile views of website like Drop makes the text very small and faint. The mobile version of dropbox looks great... but you can't download anything since it complains that opening a new window is not supported. I'm on firmware 3.01. Does 3.02 resolve this?

Also, downloading large files lacks feedback. With small files, I would almost immediately get a message saying the file is downloaded. But when downloading a 80MB mobi file, it didn't acknowledge what it is doing after I click the link. I still have control over the browser so it's a mystery if it's downloading. I even click on the link again to the same effect. Checking my Kindle later, I see the large mobi document on my home page. I wonder if background downloading of web files is supported.

I tried downloading a PDF and it's not supported, even when on wifi. The non-mobile dropbox page is https so that doesn't help to hide the file extension from amazon. Perhaps it's not a restriction of the amazon proxy but a restriction in the browser itself.

A dropbox client for kindle would be so awesome. I hate having to connect the kindle to me PC every time I need something from my library.
