Hi!

I do realize that it's probably just a fantasy, but...what if the forums sent new stories automatically to your Kindle?

Unless I'm mistaken, you can sign up using a kindle-username@free.kindle.com and it will only transfer when you're connected via wifi and thus there is no charge. (there's also the whispernet version, which costs money)

Anyhow, all the forum would have to do is pack up the html-formatted story-post into a mobi-file and e-mail it to all users registered with their kindle addresses. Would of course require highlighting new story posts (which we already do) and a number of other updates to the forum software. But it would be a coooool feature. No idea if there's similar tricks available for Nook etc.

No, I don't have a Kindle, yet. Still using my mobile phone for reading but the new Paperwhite seems to be quite niiiiiice.

Edit: Of course, there's also the option of using an html-grabber from outside the forum... Hmm... /makes *very* careful note for new pet project/
