Metafilter's edman, intrigued by the Kindle's free 3G internet and webkit-based web browser, is creating games designed to work perfectly on its monochrome display. Yep, it's time for some portable text adventures that don't make your eyes bleed. I do have an ulterior motive in bringing this up: BB doesn't work that great on the (paid) Kindle subscription system because Amazon insists we send a full RSS feed, including stuff that isn't right for the platform. Would anyone be interested in a (free) Kindle browser edition of BB, using GD/Imagemagick to re-render the site in glorious, Kindle-friendly stippled monochrome? Tell me that's just silly.
