It might work better with the Kindle 2, though.
I just make my shopping list in a text file and copy it over. I have my recipes in individual text files, too. I usually name my shopping list 00-ShoppingList.txt and my recipes 0-RecipeName.txt. That way when I alpha sort I get them all. I've considered changing the numbers to a code that denotes the type of recipe it is for easier browsing until we get folders. I really like having recipes when I'm shopping since I don't make menus ahead of time. I shop based on what's fresh, local and the best quality at the time. Having my recipes on the Kindle has definitely saved me from a lot of second trips for missed ingredients.
