To others here with Kindle 3's, if you want to try this with your home or office (or any other) WiFi with the library lending, go to the Kindle's Experimental web browser under Menu/Settings and when you're online, press Menu and select Browser Settings.
At the browser settings, click on "Disable Images' ... That will make things faster,
and I use this setting when in a hurry when images are not important to the page.
(At Yelp, for example, I like to see how many 'stars' a rating has so there it's important.)
You can fill in a URL by pressing Menu and selecting "Enter URL"
Then go to your library and start the process. You won't see book cover images of course, preferring speed for this experiment, but you'd see the text descriptions.
If a 'new window' pop-up message appears and stops the Kindle process on a link, could you let me know where it happens? So far there are no new-window calls for me within the library actions.
But since Amazon is responsible for serving the file it could be that Overdrive might use a 'new window' call when redirecting you to Amazon during your check-out.
If they don't, then it's doable now.
If they do, I can write to Amazon (as before) and ask them about fixing it, if it does happen in a setting where Amazon wants people to get through a link. As I've mentioned they did fix them in general for the Kindle-edition blogs when people want to follow links to fuller news stories.
I can't try this myself today with Overdrive, as my library card is not for an Overdrive library (until I get a card at one tomorrow).
Thanks,
- Andrys
