Trying again later produces the same result every time, but there is no such problem with other sites. What happened? Is there a way to fix it?
As of 08/10/2015 - Fixed for K2, DX, DXG if running YifanLu's firmware (FrankenKindle).
See: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=263894

I didn't do it, one of our dev. forum readers did and shared the "HowTo".
I.E: Any of the Series 2 devices can now rum the most recent Series 3 (3.4.2) firmware.
Which 'fixes' Amazon's Experimental Browser.

Note: Does not (at this time) include updating to Amazon's most recent e-book font -
but that might happen someday also.
