It does have a browser though: http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/09/w...equired-video/
The problem--and the confusing aspect--is that they say, "It doesn't." Why do that? Probably because, as the video shows, it doesn't work very well, and it doesn't download from sites like MobileRead. |
I played with the browser a little at B&N yesterday. It really does not work, period, just forget that it exists until or unless they fix it. Even for a simple site like Wikipedia, I could not scroll the page more than a half screen or so. No scroll bars if I remember correctly, various swipes and touches had little effect. Maybe if the page renders in 600x800 you can do something. It's a proof of concept at most right now.
