Eddie's Tech Notes

Scapebook is the Firefox plugin you need to do this.

To avoid monster characters when using Kindle 3 to read Chinese text, one can change the locale of the kindle as follows. When you are at HOME screen (by pressing the "home" button), type any character on the keyboard to start the search windows. Clear the previous text you typed previously, and then type in ";debugOn" and then hit ENTER. Type any character on the keyboard to start the search windows again. This time, type in "~changeLocale zh-HK.utf8" and then hit ENTER. From the HOME screen, press "Menu" and select "Settings". In the subsequent screen, press the "Menu" button again and select "Restart". You are now all set. P.S. To reverse the change, use "~changeLocale en" in step 2.
