I have a G3 enabled Kindle which gives unlimited web access, soon I'll be going to a location where other internet acess will be costly/ patchy. Does anyone know how I can upload a web page from the Kindle to a laptop so that I can print it out?

Thanks for the link, but it answers about every question then the one I'm asking. I can't identify a file on the Kindle that is the web page being displayed, and I can't see a way to save the page on to the Kindle, it will save the URL but not ther page content.

Use the Right click menu (that's your middle finger) and choose 'save as'? :-p :smile:
 
You don't have right click save as on a Kindle.

I can't find anything either. Seems it's all Laptop to Kindle, nothing the other way around.
