Using a Kindle book reader as a gaming device

The Kindle was never designed as a hand held gaming device, but as a book reader. It hence takes quite a bit of time and effort to find great Javascript games to play, which don't need a mouse, arrow keys or number keys to play. I think I have done well in my selection, and I really do hope you enjoy them as much as I did. By logging into these sites, you can now give your Kindle to children in the back seat of a car and let them play quietly when they are clearly on in the mood to read or draw.

While I have found a lot of Kindle games links, I am really keen to find even more of them! Of course if you happen to know of any great links, I would really love to know more about them and perhaps include them on this page in the future. If you find any of the pages stop working, please also let me know, so I can remove and replace them with other pages.
