Google Reader Shortcuts

zerofate · 02-02-2011, 09:36 AM

Hi all

I have just purchased a kindle 3 and would like to use the web browser to navigate google reader. The videos and tutorials I have seen reference being able to jump from article to article using n and m or j and k. This works on my pc but not on my kindle. Am I doing something wrong?

One thing I have found is that you need to click onto the content area with your cursor sometimes before it works. But it definitely works... Too well.. I spend way too much time on reader.

Click a stream, click f for fullscreen, maybe zoom in, then n or page down to scroll through.

Only thing I don't like is that you have to click on a folder before you can expand or collapse it, you can't just cursor over it.

What exactly is Google Reader?

Google Reader is an RSS Reader. It takes feeds from blogs, online newspapers, etc and aggregates it in one place. It's amazing for keeping up on news.

Here is what it looks like on the kindle browser:

That looks really neat! I suppose the only issue is I'd have to connect to a wifi, but that's relatively easy. I will give this a look.

Thanks - I actually searched out the Dictator Addiction article.
