CSS Requests for Amazon Kindle Web Browser

We would like to use a higher contrasting style for our webpage in the Kindle web browser for electronic ink displays. However, Kindle uses the usual type of screen media. There is mention of the use of media types such as amzn-mobi and amzn-kf8 for the Kindle, but they seem to only apply to e-books, not to a web browser.

We can always look at the user agent string and add the class accordingly, but we would like to avoid using JavaScript-based solutions as much as possible when there is a CSS-based alternative.

We decided to skip this enterprise because:

  • Kindle is not the only e-book reader
  • Not every Kindle is electronic ink.
  • There is no easy compatible method for detecting electronic ink displays

For such reasons, we decided to postpone the implementation of any specific styles and went with increasing the default contrast in the design.
