I thought that at first too, but then I started reading blogs that were scraped and fed to my kindle. Now I find that it is much easier to read and take the time to comprehend content when the cost of following links (through the kindles ersatz browser)is so high. Since most of what I'm interested in reading centers on computers or general science, plain text formatting and lack of images isn't a problem.

Well, as another poster pointed out, he also has a variety of web browsers installed that he uses when he really wants to.
