sorry -- i guess i should have said "text-based browser" rather than "text browser". didn't occur to me.

no, that's definitely not what i want. to clarify for anyone else: i'm looking for a text-based web browser, like elinks, lynx, links, or w3m, built for a kindle keyboard (K3), so that i can run it at a kindle shell prompt.

I am pretty sure links and w3m have been built for the kindles (although I don't recall for which models).

You'll have to search for them (or look them up).
The newbie list of how to find things here:

(Yes, I see that your join date is 2010 - I was making the "newbie here" comment from context.)
no problem. join date has little correlation with newbieness. i did do some searching before posting, but came up empty. (i'm a long time linux and unix and embedded developer -- i just haven't paid full attention to the kindle world.)

thanks for your help. neither of your links has borne fruit so far, though i've not exhausted the second one.
