kindle browser that downloads pdf
hey, is there a third party browser that can download pdf files? Native browser gives me a message "This experimental browser can not download this kind of file" on Paperwhite

You can't install a different browser on an e-ink Kindle. The browser on those is very limited, and not good at all for downloading anything.

What are you wanting to accomplish?

Necro to update this thread for present-day googlers: if you're running firmware >= 15.16.4 and thus can't install Skipstone, give my patch for the stock browser a try. It lets you download any filetype.
