1. The Kindle web browser has two modes.
The
default mode is a very simple browser that strips out the background, flash, etc. to show a page that is certain to be readable. This can take as much as 5 times as many screen pages to display.
The
advanced mode treats the screen like a 600 by 800 monitor, and shows everthing.
Whenever you are viewing a page, try both modes. One might be better than the other.
2. Sometimes a page won't load right because Javascript is not enabled.
3. It is possible to browse from your Kindle and download ebooks. Some sites that will work on the Kindle are:
www.gutenberg.net
www.munsey's.com
www.webscriptions.net
