My Kindle

My mother bought me a kindle for Christmas, it was meant to encourage me to read more.

But instead I spent all day hacking a Noughts and Crosses game on to it.

The Kindle its self is just a LINUX based system, you can obtain root access through the browser, and the browser supports a JavaScript environment. So it is possible to write simple apps for the device, such as calendar, calculator, chess, card games, Unit converters etc.

But what I was most interested in developing was some kind of text translator...

There is so much potential in this device that I've decided to make a separate page on my website to host all the applications that I plan to make for this device, it also means that users of these applications won't have to obtain root access in order to use them.

The page can be found here: https://goo.gl/fvhKfP
