Any hope to get Webkit on the K2?
Since the K3 and the K2 aren't that different from a hardware propectively. I assume that it's not a technical reason but a marketing one that a new firmware release with Webkit hasn't been released for the K2. What do people think the chances are? Does anyone think one of those online "petitions" would sway Amazon?

I got it working though lots of hacking: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...48&postcount=9
But let me tell you: Kindle 2 has half the ram. Aka pages will render half as fast (at BEST, amazon took 5 minutes to load without tweaks). The kindle 3 has a separate weblog renderer running in the background. It uses ALOT of ram. It may be that the kindle 2 is physically incapable of running webkit. |

I think you can try the browser named "arora" based on qt , qt had been ported to kindle2 and dx by some one , you can search "qindle" on forum. The web browser in qindle worked very well

That Webkit broswer sounds great. Has anyone tried it on the Kindle. I've googled and I haven't found a post that said they did.
