Kinstant

Kinstant.com is a portal site for Kindle users, connecting them to websites that are viewable in the device’s web browser.

The problem Kinstant solves:

The Kindle includes a built-in web browser, but most websites are not easily viewed on the Kindle’s grayscale e-Ink screen. Kinstant helps Kindle owners get more mileage out of their devices: by connecting them to Kindle-compatible websites, and by filtering sites to achieve faster download speeds.

Kinstant launched on 10/10/10, and has evolved quickly thanks to feedback from enthusiastic users and bloggers. The goal is to create a site that attracts daily users, and to support the site with advertising.

Kinstant has received positive reviews from Wired and Lifehacker (see links below)
