Animated GIF support in Kindle?

by astaga

Does anyone know whether the Amazon Kindle supports the display of animated GIFs on their device?

Any reference, or if this is not supported, viable alternatives to showing animation on a kindle page (is it even possible???)

Many thanks.

    "There is no Flash, and you wont be watching movies on it. Animated gifs do not even animated. But the browser supports Javascript."

    i guess the author means that animated gifs are not supported.... but I have no personal experience, so this might be wrong.....

      Not directly it doesnt, but you can get the image converted by sending it to your kindle email address.

      Formats that can be converted are: JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP.

        Thanks for all replies.
        Will explore further what I can do, or what "outside-the-box" approaches are possible....

    So if you get a gif sent to your email and read the email you are able to see it?

      If its the kindle email I believe so.. It will be converted to a format the kindle can view.
