Kindle for Android

Doesn't work on my Magic + Cyanogen 5. Random words from my book show up, but they are interspersed with strings of Japanese and other random Unicode characters.

Who knew that rendering a subset of HTML could be so difficult...

I don't really think that it's fair to blame Amazon for problems you have running their app on older hardware with a gray market ROM image.

It's hard enough to run tests on the legitimate Android configurations active on the market. Trying to account for homebrew setups like Cyanogen would be a recipe for lots of pain and effort with very little payoff.

How is Cyanogen any different from any other Android 2.1 image?

I have the same issue - apparently this is a bug in Cyanogen mod (or at least they have a fix for it) - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1663#c...
