Downloadable Bookmarks file. Revised 1/25/11 - Ongoing file

UPDATE 1/25/11
This is to let readers know that the ongoing Kindle Bookmarks file ("Mobiweb WebLinks") has been revised.

I've added the download-link for this file + upload-date to the reference column on the right side of the website so that people can check the date of the latest one.

  I'll continue to add more sites as I go but won't be announcing revisions for smaller changes, so check the file every now and then.

TIP: You can bookmark pages in this 'book'-like file.
 A Kindle-3 user wrote to ask about skipping past the Kindle-2 section.  To do that make a bookmark with alt-b (this key-combo toggles a bookmark on and off for the page you're on -- check the dog-ear at the top right to see if it's "taken" when you do a bookmark).

  To get to any bookmarks you've made in a book file, press Menu button and select "View My Notes & Marks" while that book is open.

  But Kindle 3-users won't need to go further than the Kindle 3 section now, as I've added, into each weblinks listing, the individual Mobile Website-Downsizer sites (which emphasize text portions of pages to increase loading speed on the Kindle).

  These include Skweezer, Cantoni, Reading the Net (new) and Web On Your Cell.

Until Amazon revises how the web browser works, I've kept in the Google-features advice on workarounds for problems accessing versions of GMail or other tools with the Kindle 3.

See the basuc information on using the file in the earlier and main Bookmarks article that explains more.

In the meantime, let me know if you have any trouble getting the file.  Thanks!

Corrected link to downloadable Bookmarks file (being revised this week)


This is just a quick blog entry to correct the conditions for a download of the ongoing Kindle bookmarks file in its current form.

 However, I'm revising it and the newer one coming later this week should be considerably easier to use.

  In the meantime, let me know if you have any trouble getting this one.  Thanks!

Updated Mobiweb Kindle bookmarks file w/ tips on using gmail on Kindle 3

The bookmarks photo is from petittscreations.com.  I ran across them and liked the bookmarks but have no association with the site.

This is an alert that the ongoing mobiweb file of bookmarks or website-links for Kindles, which includes tips on how to get around problems with Google's gmail and gtasks on the Kindle 3, was just updated to try to make the tips more readable and to alphabetize and boldface the link titles for ease of use.

Before uploading this, I got an Amazon alert that those interested in GPS units might want to know that there's a one-day series of "lightning deals" on GPS units which they say will have discounts of up to 66% today.

Note the change in Free Download of Best Website Bookmarks article today.

This is a note for Kindle Edition blog subscribers.  I've updated the Free Bookmarks File article today, to fix a a problem when requesting to email an Amazon-preconverted non-rights-protected .azw file from one's computer to a Kindle device -- it's not considered a personal doc for sending to the Kindle.  For a year, this didn't present a problem with this file, but it does now, so I've updated that article and am putting a new post here because Amazon doesn't update for mildly updated blog articles unless there's a new post.

I also added KindleTwit as it's customized for the Kindle and does not require a 'new window' for links and lets you follow the links in tweets.  Thanks for the alert from Mike Cane.
