Yes, there is a web browser on the Kindle. It is a not a very advertised feature, but it is quite capable of handling most web pages. (Does not do video)

Hey, I'm reviving this thread to ask again if there is anyway to get Mises.org articles on a Kindle?

Saan:
It would be nice, but I think the kindle will go the way of Beta-max. The I-phone kills it.

I completely disagree. I have a Blackberry Storm, which is similar to the iPhone. I sometimes read Mises Dailies on it, but the screen is definitely not optimal (don't you prefer reading them on a computer monitor?).

Plus, the Kindle is entirely different! The screen looks like a printed page so it's easier to read than any backlit screen, including the iPhone and a computer monitor. I do nearly all of my reading on my Kindle. I've probably got over 100 books from Mises.org plus a variety of economics and physics journal articles as well. If the screen refresh was faster, I'd read Mises forum posts on it as well!

If Mises.org delivered its dailies via Kindle, they would arrive wirelessly and permit the use of highlighting or saving certain snippets for later review.

Regardless of what one thinks of the Kindle, eReaders are quickly gaining in popularity. For evidence, do a Google News search on eBook or eReader and you'll find that a huge number of companies are offering competitors in this area.

Hey guys,

I love the Mises Institute.

I also love my Kindle.

Wouldn't it be great to have the Mises Dailies delivered wirelessly to my Kindle so that I can save and highlight my favorite passages on the go?!

Distribution costs must be pretty low, as typical subscriptions cost $0.99-$1.99. Of course, free is best, but I'm willing to pay $1/month for benefit.
