This works well. Selecting the search box and entering the search text was easy. Selecting a book and then downloading it was also straightforward, and the e-book ended up in the books catalog.

Ok wallcraft, thank you for this information/screenshots.
I can see on those screenshots that there's very limited CSS support (no support ?) and that various characters are not displayed on the Kindle, but overall it still looks easy enough to use.

My original Kindle screenshots were from the "Default Mode". I enclose screenshots from the "Advanced Mode". The difference isn't large here, but the advanced mode can make a big difference at some "mobile" sites (e.g. for gmail).

You get some CSS (not everything) on the Advanced Mode while Default is simple HTML.

Is there any support for cookies on the Kindle ?

Hadrien · 01-28-2008, 07:24 PM

Added a few things:

You can now sign in on the mobile version, it'll sign you up automatically through cookies the next time you visit
If you're signed in and already downloaded a few books, you'll get personalized recommendations
You can submit comments on books/authors/lists
At the end of our Mobipocket books you'll find a link to post a comment about the book that you've just finished reading

For those of you using the guide on the Kindle, I also recommend signin up on the website. This way your downloads will be logged and you'll still benefit from the personalized recommendations feature.

There must be some support -- the manual tells how to DELETE cookies. Page 68 in the PDF version.

Ok, thank you for this information. Well in this case everything should work fine, and Kindle users won't have to sign in every time they visit the mobile website.

I decided that I should rather finish the mobile website now. Subscriptions and uploaded books are now available. You can already download your RSS feeds/newspaper this way, but for the moment only PDF is supported. Whenever we launch Mobipocket and epub support for this feature, the mobile website will already be fully ready.

I've included screenshots using the opera mini emulator.
