I guess the browser would be useful if I had the 3G version and could use it to send email in a pinch. But I only have wifi and it's hard to find a hotspot when I'm out walking about.

However, all is not good. I have Instapaper set to automatically send an article compilation every day, a feature that never seems to work. So instead I click on "Send now." This worked for me this morning. And it just worked for me again. Hopefully I am on a roll, but most of the time, in recent weeks, it does not send anything.

Is your experience different?
I have had very similar experiences with the automatic send & send now features of Instapaper. But it just takes a minute to go to the Instapaper site via the Kindle browser, and download directly to the Kindle using the Kindle icon. So I no longer use those two send options.
