By my experience, all problems with Kindle's Web browser (I have Kindle 2) is that it is still at Experimental stage (same for MP3 player too) and they do not want to improve it anyway (except slight improvements with new kernels and new Kindle models).

By the way, I am very disappointed not by slow web browser, but with the slow indexing and search of the books. This is the main advantage of the e-readers over the regular paper books. So I want they improve this and put updates for the old Kindles too. For web browsing I do have a laptop 15.4" and a netbook 10.2", also I have smartphone with 3G with 800x480px screen, but nothing of these do not suit my needs for comfort reading with no sore eyes. (I also have a desktop with 2x24" FullHD dual monitors extended desktop - too not suitable for reading books for more than a hour)

Stop this dumb offtopic regarding Macs and VM. This is an embedded device, not a PC. Of course, you could recompile the kernel after root-hacking.
