There's a bit of a fiddly hack to install Kindle (you have to use a homebrew app called Impostah to spoof the Kindle app into believing that your Touchpad is Merkan), but it's worth it once it's on.<br /> <br /> For the moment, I'm perfectly happy with WebOS.<br /> <br /> Best paid-for app, btw, is Kalemsoft Media Player, which plays loads more video formats than the clunky built-in app. In conjunction with the free Kalemsoft Media Streamer, you can watch any video on your Jim machine on your Touchpad</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=38992.4&return_msg=38992.4" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="38992.4"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a38992_5"></a><div class="message" id="message_38992_5"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Kriv<span class="message_time"> 7 Oct 2011 21:23</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Manthorp <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 7 Oct 2011 21:24"></span></span> <span class="message_count">5 of 28</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=38992.5">38992.5</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=38992.4#a38992_4" target="_self">38992.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> <p>I was actually quite impressed with webOS as well.
