Kindle runs browser on e-ink - it's an exercise in frustration.

Actually i like the fact that you can browse on tablet side and import selected page like an article on Wikipedia on the reader side ,, but i am curious to know if i can use that feature in browser apart from the stock browser available in PE.

No. Someone was working on a project to do just that but when Entourage shut down he just disappeared off the face of the earth! From what I understand no one has been able to get a hold of him ever since. Perhaps he was upset about the company closing.

You could try Javese's lcd2eink program. But it isn't the same. Lcd2eink copies pages from LCD to the e-ink screen whereas the stock browser send the whole article over (I like this feature, too!

).

Can you please tell me how you import a browser page onto the eink side?

you should run your default browser. Open some page and click a symbol of book above the URL line, between paper clip symbol and star.

The icon is probably just a plug-in in the native browser. May somebody can have a look at the code see if something similar can be coded for dolphin or miren. I'd pay a couple bucks for that for sure.

$5 then and you can buy a chay late tralalachino uber grande with cinamon :-)

Anybody has details about the browse? Is it the stock froyo browse modified or something proprietary to entourage?
