- Using the Kindle as my secondary monitor(for coding etc.)
This was my primary reason for buying the Kindle.
I plan to write a simple "framebuffer server" running on the Kindle which listens for network connections. If a packet with display contents is received, the data will be written into the Kindle's framebuffer.
The client will be a framebuffer Linux Kernel module which simulates a framebuffer of the same size as the Kindle's display and forwards the display contents to the Kindle's IP via UDP.
The server on the Kindle side is already working and I can already modprobe the module at the client side, but X11 does not seem to detect the Kernel module. But I hope I'll sort this issue out next weekend :-)

Wow using the Kindle as a second monitor would be like a dream for me D=
If you ever get it working, I would want it.
