Alternative browser

Is there an alternative to the Kindle browser like Skipstone for 5.18.1 PW4 (it doesn't work for me?). I know about Alpine Linux and the text browser in KOReader, but these options don't work. Could you tell me how to install Skipstone or an alternative?

It's a very old release, I doubt it will work on newer firmware (5.16+)
