It is a superior browsing experience in general (tabbed, bookmarks bar, better rendering, landscape mode for full desktop rendering) and of course being a hack has a better way of quitting.  |
Heya, just added skipstone to my bookmarks, didn't know about it, so
again
Doesn't solve my prob with switching from book to wiki and back, but is a very welcome addition anyway. The kindle browser is pretty much useless for anything else than wikipedia hehe. If everything will work out as planned, I'll take a few days off coming week and take my time to JB and explore. Until then I pick up all your great advice and bookmark the links you provide.
So far I have:
- JB, old FW to intall before
- K5 JBPatch
- K5 Collections Manager
- Librarian (still have to decide)
- All I need for Calibre (I think)
- Snapshots of NiLuJe's Hacks (mighty stuff, still have to explore that all)
- Skipstone browser
And an idea for the frontlight warmtoning. However, I'll test it for a while before opening, to see if the yellowish background does the trick and to make sure the kindle I have is stable before I definitely kill my warranty.
Anything useful I forgot besides NiLuJe's awesome and inspiring images and thoughts on how to make the typography on the PW much better? Please keep it coming.
