you could just run the far superior Opera Mini, which is the same concept, but in a mature product form.
Hackers have managed to get Amazon's proxy-based Silk browser compiled into other Android versions, allowing anyone* to take advantage of the Amazon cloud. The hack requires a rooted device, and some mucking about with apk files, but does share the Silk love. XDA-Developers member TyHi initially hacked the Silk browser into …
That's right, I used Opera mini to bypass the site blocking protocol on a T mobile broadband dongle.
They wanted credit card details and to charge a £2 fee for unblocking it legitimately.

I tried it with the turbo version too but that wouldn't work for some reason.
I don't really care if Amazon knows my history. Privacy advocates seem to complain about this for the principle involved, without actually explaining why it's worse than Hitler and Stalin combined.
Tesco know all the things I buy in their store and my credit card company knows _everything_ I buy, should I be worried by those things too? Damn you Tesco, reminding me I forgot to buy milk!
With a bank you accept that they know, with browsing we have had it free'n'easy for so long we find it sort of creepy that from all the little snippets of info we leave in our wake, they can piece our lives back together again. It's also the beginning of a slippery slope, no harm in keeping those who think they can abuse our privacy, in check once in a while.
I hope not too like it.
Opera Turbo really messes with location sensative sites and services. Opera Trubo kills iPlayer, TVCatchup and changes the content of BBC News, BBC homepage and many others.
If Amazon Silk suffers the same problem I wondering if it makes investing in a browser enabled Kindle at all.
