Building websites that work on an e-ink Kindle

• afandian 12y ago
  "The Kindle completely ignores CSS and JavaScript" As someone who started using web browsers before CSS was adopted and when client-side scripting was a new and adventurous thing (and it was far from settled that JS was the winning language), this is really refreshing to read. Somehow it made me really happy. An acknowledgement that web pages are (or at least were) marked-up documents. A reminder of gentler times.

  Note that this is on an ancient Kindle without a touch screen. I have a Kindle Paperwhite and it most certainly does CSS and JavaScript. It's slow as hell and scrolling on an e-ink display is very painful due to the time it takes to refresh the screen (especially because scrolling is done by dragging, like on an iPad, but there is no visual feedback – it would be much better if there was a "page down" control).
