Blogging from Kindle?

Can you even surf the web on a kindle?

Huh. I know the iPad app works pretty well, so it can be done. No idea about the licenses etc of kindle apps.

Kindle has some sort of “webkit” thing, really basic browser I think. Not all flashy and such. I don’t have a Kindle, my sis has last gen, and she can check Yahoo! mail and read CNN… basic internet functionality.

Logging into a self-hosted wordpress install, then writing and publishing… that’s sort of what I’m curious about.

Well. Borrow it and see if you can surf to your site ??

Poking around on google gives me this: https://mashable.com/2009/05/13/blogs-amazon-kindle/

Which says you can READ from the kindle, but not post… :/

I imagine, given how much Matt loves his Kindle, if it can be done, it will ??

Mmmmm…. The article you linked to would have been the previous generation of Kindle, which had a different (weaker?) web browser. The current (3rd) generation uses the ‘webkit’ browser, which is some kind of open source project if wikipedia is correct.

As for borrowing my sister’s 2nd gen kindle to test, that wouldn’t work. First off, it’s the 2nd gen kindle and I’m looking at the 3rd gen. Second, she’s a long plane ride away. Though, this could still be a good excuse to go visit her ??

FYI… I hit up the local Best Buy to look at the Kindle. The store/floor model was hard wired to run some demo thing that allowed for no ‘testing’. Best Buy also sells the Nook & Sony readers, and they too had demos running.

My local BB was also out of stock of all the ereaders, and the staff had no clue where the readers were displayed in the store… great customer service as always… ha…
