Most news and weather links, in my posts earlier in this thread, stopped working last month.

This affects all links that use www.readingthenet.com to render compatible web sites for display on the Kindle Keyboard and other simplified browser devices. It is NOT a problem with Robin Gardner's superb-to-me readingthenet.com interface, but with the Google service behind it.

I am posting here as a notification, and as a plea for help.

I have tried, without full success, these alternate mobilizers:

http://mowser.com/

http://mlvb.net/

http://www.googleweblight.com/

The biggest problem with alternative web site simplification tools is tiny default font sizes which I can't figure out how to increase. This is mentioned, for mlvb.net, here:

http://www.googletvforum.org/threads...website.10674/

One can bring up a news or weather web page with a service such as mlvb.net, and then use the Kindle menu to increase the font size for that page. But this has to be done for every followed link, and takes forever. The beauty of the way www.readingthenet.com worked was fast response time.

All ideas appreciated!
