And I suspect the answer to why the browser is unusable is that Amazon doesn’t have people who care about e-ink.

My suspicion is that the answer to this is that Amazon doesn’t have (particularly) religious people. I need to try using a bible app on my Boox. They already have this feature for other web browsers and apps so why can’t the Kindle do it itself?Īlso, why aren’t kindles better at handling bible (koran etc) features like speedy book, chapter:verse access, parallel editions, word references? personally, I just use my phone, there’s no point trying, on the Kindle. After all, the majority of the web still consists of text, and Kindles are supposed to be best for reading so why can’t reading web articles be included?Īt the very least why isn’t there a send-to-Kindle option from the Kindle’s web browser? You could just hit a button and have the web page sent to the Kindle as a nicely-formatted ebook. The Kindle’s web browser could be a lot better. You’re not going to use it for watching videos or anything like that, but when it comes to reading articles it works pretty well. It works much better than the Kindle’s web browser ever has.

There’s a full screen mode and on-screen buttons for navigating as well. It automatically optimizes the text for E Ink, scrolling is smooth and it will refresh after scrolling. The web browser on Onyx’s ereaders is actually pretty usable. Refresh rates are faster and smoother than they used to be. The truth is E Ink web browsers could be a lot more useful than they currently are the technology has improved over the years. Over the years we’ve been conditioned to expect web browsers to suck on E Ink devices, in part because of the Kindle’s experimental web browser an other crummy E Ink browsers, but that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case in 2020. Some folks used to say they could use the web browser to checkout ebooks from their library, but I could never get it past the library login page without crashing.
