Reading Scribd Documents on Kindle 3

SunLight · 09-21-2010, 09:39 PM

I have yet to purchase a Kindle 3 and I was wondering,

how does Scribd.com appear when using the web browser?

I heard that Scribd.com has moved to HTML5 and thus would be readable on most web browsers, can someone try out this document on their Kindle 3?

or any other document

Thanks

I looked at it using my PC browser. It looked like crap even in a PC browser. No way that website will be legible on a K3. There is way too much advertising on it so it would take a long time to load and there is way too much wasted space due to the advertising to be useful on a K3. I doubt even a K DX would work with that kind of website.

Here are the screenshots I took. As I suspected it came our unreadable and too over 4 minutes to load. The K3 is not an iPad and the browser is not designed to compete with an iPad. The K3 is an ebook reader.
