Is this really different than what has been working for weeks? Looks like the Kindle for Web preview ability announced (and used on my blog) quite some time back. At that time, the coming soon portion of reading via web pages was being promoted.

Mea culpa. I have only just noticed it (although I was dimly aware it was coming). As you were Kindlers - there's nothing new to see here.

No problem, you just got me excited ... but then I didn't see any difference (and thought I was missing something in the announcement). This will be great (if they work out the licensing kinks ... defeats the device limits, from what I can see).

Indeed, nothing new. OP also put a AmazonAssociates tag in there, probably to make money off of excited users.
