Accessing the Web

Your Kindle comes with an Experimental application called Basic Web which is a Web browser that is optimized to read text-centric Web sites. It supports JavaScript, SSL and cookies but does not support media plug-ins (Flash, Shockwave, etc.) or Java applets.

6.1 Using Basic Web

To open the Basic Web browser, you can either select "Basic Web" from the "Experimental" screen or follow a link from within your reading material. Many of the blogs that you subscribe to from the Kindle Store have links to Web sites. Selecting these links will open Basic Web and take you to the URL associated with the link. If you select Basic Web from the Experimental page, you will see the Bookmarks page instead.

Entering a URL

To enter the URL for a Web site, select "Enter URL" at the top of the screen. You will see a text entry box like the one below where you can enter the address and select "Submit" to view that Web site.
