Kindle DX browser choked
I have a Kindle DXG. It has been updated and is registered with Amazon. I can still buy books over 3G, but I can no longer connect to sites I used for years while I was in the mountains without the internet. I used to check the weather and Gmail with ease. Now I get that "Basic Web is unable to make a secure connection at this time message except for Shop in Amazon store! I have spent a couple of extended sessions with Kindle customer support, and they insist it is because Amazon has not updated the software for DX. Really? Yet I have no trouble using the browser to visit Amazon. I have a Windows 98 computer that still connects to the internet! Newer Kindles are sold with restricted browsers, but my Kindle Keyboard connects over the same Telus 3G as the DX, and it goes to simple sites with the Basic Browser. I don't think anything has been done to basic 3G internet that would require me to have some mysterious Amazon update that has not been made. I'm just saying, that sounds like BS to me!
