Cannot do mobile editing on Kindle e-reader
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

On an e-ink Kindle (a Paperwhite is what I'm testing on right now) using the built-in browser, the mobile interface looks great. (This is in contrast to the desktop version, which is significantly broken.)

I get prompted to log in when I tap the mobile edit icon. After login, the buttons appear accessible (not locked). The upload button gives a popup notification that the browser doesn't support uploads (fine). The edit button simply does nothing. It should either not be presented, or (preferably) it should work.

Incidentally, it *is* actually possible to edit on the desktop version on a Kindle.

Mmmm very odd. Sage can you tell me if when you click edit the address bar changes in any way? Also can you let me know it's useragent?

Hmmm... it works now!

For the record, the user agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv7l like Android; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.2+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.2+ Kindle/3.0+

So you can't reproduce anymore? It might be that a commit I pushed a few weeks ago fixed it (it did for Android 2.x).

That's right, I can't reproduce it. Thanks (maybe)!
