This one is nothing special, but I no longer plan to use the net from this small mono screen anyway.
EldRick, are you using mobile-device optimized sites?

If not, try my mobiweb.azw file or any of the other ones floating around, but I give some google urls that work better than others. You can download that via your Kindle to your Kindle. Clicking on a URL in that will take you to it without the fuss of going to experimental menu etc and choosing to load a URL etc.

Again, when you select an article, use Menu/Article Mode, which will get rid of the side ads, links, and junk and it's very pleasant and not that slow. Use Back button when through with an article, or do Menu/Web Mode ... to leave Article Mode.

I've been getting fast response times lately. IF you are going to image-heavy sites, it will be painful on any e-Ink screen though.

I forgot to ask, do you have a Kindle 3? That's the one with Article mode and faster web loads.
