[GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

[D.]

The app question depends on the type of Kindle you're using. The Fire has supported apps in the past, but more bare bones Kindles don't.

Flywire and D.
Thanks for the suggestions.  I will try them tonight and report back.

The Kindle has what Amazon calls the "Experimental Browser".  I have tried
it a few times in the past just to see what it's like.  What it's like is
pouring molasses, but it works.  I will try entering the link in the Kindle
browser.  I will also try to display an HTML document loaded to my Kindle
to compare the speed.  I assume that would be much faster. To get an HTML
document to a Kindle, I either have to email it to an address that is
unique to my account which will store it with the rest of my docs on an
Amazon server, or plug my Kindle into a PC and copy the document from the
PC to the Kindle.

With respect to downloading an app, I don't think the Kindle supports apps
of any kind. I should say I have never seen any downloadable apps on Amazon
or on the web. I have seen a few grumbles about Kindle not having
downloadable games.
