Some already mentioned in that new "change your user agent" thread.

Tried that: it works even less well, I don't even get to the list of books :-(

You can, if you request to become an editor.
By default you can only view/comment...

Why did u chose to use a google doc over the wiki? I think wiki is a better option as more people searching can find it!

It's just way quicker to get used to all the editing functions for the avg joe.
I want to have other folks contributing....
The Google doc's referenced in the 1st post of the guide thread, that's stickied at the top of this sub-forum.
Prolly best continuing this discussion in that thread if you have any ideas.*
I'm away for approx. 5-days.....

*The thread's also the 1st link in my signature.

Try an older Chrome UA, one that supports html5, but not local storage. Don't have any specific suggestions however.

Something between Chrome 11 and 13, perhaps: http://www.useragentstring.com/pages/Chrome/

I think a wiki is a better solution unless u have something specific against it. Everybody else, including me, will help in formatting and maintaining it. It looks better than a google doc also.

But the Google doc can be made to look much better*, all I've been doing really is dumping stuff...
Happy for others make it more readable, there's already several editors, but so far only 1 has done a tiny bit.
If you can outline compelling technical reasons (from experience) why it's better, can you please do so in the thread.
I will see what others think in that thread too....

*I was also considering MS's equivalent site or switching to a spreadsheet-like layout.

Well, in the standard N9 browser (which is WebKit based) I don't even get to the list of available books

In Fennec, I get (oh so very) close, with the screen going to 'book view' and showing the title across the top... before telling me an error occured.

So near, and yet so far :-)

I've been thinking about alternative ways to get my Kindle library on the N9. Now, FBReader is a perfectly capable e-reader, so if I could just get my library to...

* sync over the cloud with my N9
* de-drm the AZW files
* convert the AZWs to epubs

Now, the second two parts are (relatively) easily handled by Python scripts (is there a Python interpreter on the N9?). The first part is tricky. Does anyone have any bright ideas?
