Amazon Kindle: Improving Internet Experience

Rob from GottaBeMobile continues to discuss his experiences with the Kindle. Rob recommends using the mobile version of Google. But on diego's blog is the following note:

Web navigation is decent, if limited. Russ came over and we geeked out with the device for a bit, looking at the user agent (Mozilla-Compatible, NetFront) and other headers it was sending. Amazon is proxying the content, which isn't a surprise. Net access is fairly fast (and free!), and Mowser works great on it! Faster even though in effect it's going through two proxies (Amazon, then Mowser).

In Default Mode, the browser ignores CSS/styles, and it behaves more like a limited-capabilities mobile browser. But turning on Advanced Mode enables them. Oh, and you can turn on Javascript support too! (off by default)

What tips would you add for improving the Internet experience?
