The Kindle Web Browser has 2 modes: Default and Advanced. Being the "power user" I am I promptly put it in "Advanced" mode figuring the controls would just get more complex. Actually, at a minimum, it would appear that "Advanced" means use CSS and Javascript to the best of your little ability, and thus the screen shot I took of Wikipedia isn't the experience that Amazon.com was going for. Here's an example (at Deathbringer's request):

 

Certainly the first one seems to attempt to be a niftier experience, but since this is more of a pure informational device, the second one is clearly a better Kindle experience. I'm guessing that Wikipedia does the same. I know it will make this site look much better (since that's how I rolled it).

So, the Kindle Browser Issue, once again, is a "Didn't take time to fully read the instructions" issue on my part. My apologies Kindle team.
