Decent. Note that it’s a 6″ screen which is much smaller than what PDFs are formatted for (11″). You can go to landscape mode which is a bit better, but still much smaller than what PDFs are formatted for.

You can zoom and then pan and scroll around. However, it’s not ideal.

There are unfortunately no keyboard shortcuts to launch various things. I think you can do Alt+home to go to Kindle Store from anywhere and just search ‘kindle tips’ to find a list of tips and shortcuts – However, they are pretty limited.

Great tip regarding the Archive tool! I understand your response regarding how to personalize my start page with links to useful website. What I am looking for is mostly a list of keyboard shortcuts to certain functions (browser or not). Thanks!

GD, you can seach for ‘kindle start page tool’ to find a small tool I made that lets you create a list of shortcuts like you mention. However, it’s in a kindle document.

Books that you delete from your Kindle are archived. So reading them doesn’t – only after you read them and delete them do they go to the Archive.

I have a couple of questions:
-Is there a list of shortcuts available so for instance we don’t have to go through the main menu page > experimental > browser > favorite > etc…
-What is the archive folder for? I thought I would use it to archive books after I read them but it seems like I cannot add any book to this folder.
Thanks again for your advice!

Just stuff. I only have one Kindle 3 at the moment. So if something happens to it there’d be nothing left to try out the new apps and do testing of various things.

Actually, no. I even created a dump of the message log (all_logs_as_of_xxx_xxx_xx_xx.xx.xx_PDT_xxxx.txt) but I found nothing.

P.S. What do you mean when you say you need it for testing?

Will have to wait since I currently need my Kindle 3 for testing etc. It does sound interesting. Did you find any logs or anything on your Kindle after doing this?
