Actually I was able to do it Kindle-only with sqweezer.com (which handles the no-new-window issue), but it was a pretty ugly process. It is much easier and faster to use a computer browser to navigate the library site, but nice to know I could do it in a pinch. And I will try the alternate approach described above—seems much better!

Hope Overdrive will add detection for Kindle browser, default to the mobile web site, and stop launching new window for the Amazon workflow. That would bring it on par with Sony.

I wonder if the mobile site would work even with JS enabled...have to work out the library URL however, so I can type it in and bookmark it.
