Discourse doesn't work on my Kindle

Discourse not working on my Kindle is a barrier to reading.

** Further elaboration**
When I browse to Discourse on my Kindle, I expect to see the list of topics in the same format as the list of books on my device. When selecting a topic, I should be taken to my current place in the topic and should be able to read it like a book. Formatting should look something like this:
...
dhromed, much intrigued by the discussion said "Valve fuckup or email envelope faking? News at 11".
To which mikeTheLiar responded "Pretty sure this violates the NDA somehow someway, but fuck it. I got this email a few weeks ago:"
, "Imagine my confusion, because I did log on, and I played for close to an hour. Can't be too hard on them, though, it is beta testing, WTFs are to be expected.".
"Oh I LOVE when people hijack my thread for their own WTF instead of making their own fucking threads! I LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN THAT!!! Are people seriously too cowardly to make threads on this forum? What the fuck is up with that? Why does it happen? Goddamned. This forum is the worst, and you all are the worst, and mikeTheLiar you're the worst of the worst." quoth blakeyrat, in a fit of violent rage*.
...

Reading it like a book would require some kind of page-based format? Can't see that catching on.

Kindles are the undisputed* king of reading devices. This is why I believe Discourse should support them.
I wonder if @ben_lubar has a Kindle. We might be able to convince him to make a plugin...

We could probably just add kindle here: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/82e34eabb776a5c7901fa448f4891cdbd52d4d1e/lib/crawler_detection.rb and give it the crawler page.

Will it do the rage thing
?

Even though I should save my likes so we can
abuse themexperiment with them in the "likes" thread I felt the need to express my genuine appreciation for this post.

I've given you a like back, so you've broken even. Don't spend it all at once.

It would be nice if the JS there could instead redirect to ?no_js=1 or something like that when the browser doesn't have
pushState, which would render the "crawler view".

I guess, but this would punish people on IE9, though they probably have punishment enough being on IE9.

Hahaha!!!!
The fuck are you trying to do with you kindle... that is some funny shit right there.
I bet @sam had a mental collision looking at that picture.

I expect to see the list of topics in the same format as
Oh my...i busted my spleen laughing...

TRWTF is trying any website on a non-touch Kindle with its WTF on-screen keyboard and D-pad.
