One of the strange things about Kindles is Amazon has always referred to the web browser as “experimental”. In fact the Kindle’s web browser has been experimental for over 10 years now. At this point it’s safe to assume it’s never going to move past the experimental stage, but why don’t they ever improve it? […]
