I just purchased this and found it to be quite useful and very easy to use. No more trying to type with the little keyboard, just scroll down and click and it takes you to the web page. I will use this app
Having purchased this I now wonder how I got by without it! Does exactly what it should and is so easy to use. Best idea ever!
I've been looking for something like this. Much handier than the clumsy browser included with Kindle and great for checking the weather or headlines. It's quick and everything works. Mostly.
The downside is that it crashes my Kindle. Really bad. I had to reset 3x in 20 minutes after loading and running it. I deleted it and the crashing stopped. Reloaded it and the crashing returned. I had similar problems when using the Kindle's 'experimental' browser, too.
Bottom line: The Kindle isn't intended to be a web browser, but can be used as one in a pinch. This app is a giant step closer to making it one, however it needs a bit more polish. At $0.99 it's a good deal, but if you're hoping for a poor man's iPad, this ain't it.

Good Price and Easy to Use, But...........
First of all this a pretty good idea which is what I liked about it. On the plus side it is easy to use and it will most likely save you a lot of time, depending on how much you use the web browser on your Kindle and how comfortable you are editing the Bookmarks option located on the browser menu.
On the minus side it does have a few problems. The main issue is a couple of broken links. I tried almost of the links and most work fine except Wikipedia and Mapquest (I did not try all the financial ones). (Note: with Wikipedia the program seems to use "mobile.wikipedia.org/" which Kindle says it does not except. I tried this URL manually and it still did not work. Now "wapedia.mobi/" and "en.m.wikipedia", both mobile addresses, work great). Of all the links included, Wikipedia would be the one I would probably most, obviously if you don't use Wiki, this would not be a big deal.
Another drawback, though not unexpected, is that you cannot edit these bookmarks at all, that includes deleting unwanted ones or adding additional ones that you like, unlike the Bookmarks option available in Kindle which are totally editable (though you do have to "launch" your web browser to access the menu to see your bookmarks).
There are a lot of good URLs in this program so it might save you time looking up the mobile addresses of all these sites and typing them in to your browser. Right now it is only $.99, which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 2, so it might be worth a try. Or you can try adding the "mobile" URLs to your current Kindle bookmark file manually it's up to you.
