I just tested Dropbox+calibre2opds+Kindle2 with my 300-book-loaded calibre. The catalogue looked quite nice on the Kindle. However because Kindle's basic web browser can't process java-scripted download links, I couldn’t download anything. When I click on the link the page just reloads, nothing else.
It would be really nice to have some options to control availability of JavaScript in download link. Ex) when you set the option, download links are listed as text.

Hi,
As I said, I did take a long time to think about it and find a nice way of generating a javascript-less HTML catalog, but I couldn't find one.
I found out that the Kindle browser is actually
advertised as a javascript-capable browser :
Your Kindle comes with an Experimental application called Basic Web, which is a Web browser optimized to read websites that are primarily text-based. It supports JavaScript, SSL and cookies but does not support media plug-ins (Flash, Shockwave, etc.) or Java applets.
and
Use Advanced Mode: This mode squeezes pages down to fit the width of the Kindle screen. In this mode, JavaScript can also be enabled.
However, I don't own a Kindle (donations accepted
) so I can't test the extents of the experimental browser's javascript support.
Would you accept to become a priviledged beta-tester for the upcoming Kindle support ?
Please send me an email !
David.
