I sent you the source code. It’s a PHP script that generates a text file that you move to documents folder of your Kindle. Then Amazon opens it like any document. Except the links in the text file can be clicked on.

Thanks for reply. I’m a retired computer scientist, so I may be able to help. May I see the source code? I’m especially interested in how you move the file into the Kindle.

John, there is now way i know of to add a link direct to the Kindle home page. So the best that can be done is have a document on the Kindle home page that lists a bunch of bookmarks.

I’d like bookmonk home page maker to build the home page entry to go directly to the web page instead of displaying a link to do so. For example, I’d name the entry Gmail and when selected from the home page the browser would open the Gmail web page without need to use the 5-way button.

Annie, could you add an example url using the skweezer url structure.
If I’m understanding you correctly there is a limitation in the text field of how long the url can be and that’s ruling out longer urls.

I’m back home in a week and will make the change if you can add an example url so i know what length urls we are talking about.

Also, it’s good to hear that you’re finding it useful.

Hi. I like this feature because it is much more convenient than going to “experimental” and “basic web” each time. However, the allotted spaces given for the url needs to be longer.

Most of the websites I wanted to add were not usable because they were too long, most of the time because I was saving a link using skweezer, other times simply because the url was too long.

I look forward to checking back another time to see if more websites can be added to my kindle homepage. Thanks!
