Can anybody with a Kindle 3 confirm this? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Mobile App has Problem W/Inputting Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2010 21:37:14 -0700 From: Carl Johnson <johnson_carl@comcast.net> To: <webmaster@gutenberg.org> I'm using the new Kindle 3 and when I go to the mobile Gutenberg site I'm unable to input any text in the search box for author, title, etc. I get the pointing hand with the cursor blinking within the box but entering letters produces nothing. I think it has to do with your site since the inputting function works everywhere else using the Kindle. Thanks if you can fix this. You've got a giant site I'd like to use.

Mobile App has Problem W/Inputting
Can anybody with a Kindle 3 confirm this?
Yes, I can confirm that my K3 doesn't "work" with m.gutenberg.org, in that if I try to input say an author search term, the site doesn't allow any text to be input into the text box, and the "search" returns the default listing of "all" authors, ignoring the search term. I hadn't even notice this problem, however, because on the K3 the m.gutenberg.org site outputs too much html to fit on one display page, meaning that the author search term box scrolls off the top of the display, such that K3 users are IMHO unlikely to even notice that if they *were* to scroll back up the display there would be a search box there for them to input things into. So I thought you were just "forcing" an unsorted list of authors onto K3 users... ...the good news now is that at least the webkit browser in K3 now works very well with the default site, www.gutenberg.org, including all the various search and advanced search options.
