Open HTML from Kindle file system w/browser
Like (all?) other browsers, the Kindle browser allows opening an HTML file from the local file system using 'file://..' syntax. I have confirmed this by opening a file I found in the file listing on Igor S.'s 'Reversing Everything' blog. Thus if you type this in the address field:
file:///opt/amazon/ebook/prefs/NowNowTemplate.html
It loads up.
However, I have not been able to discover the system path to the root of the user documents folder (with Audible/documents/music/system folders etc.), which you see with Explorer/Finder when the Kindle is tethered via USB.
Does anybody know the correct file path to use to get there? I think it would be useful to be able to access HTML files stored on Kindle as an alternative to converting them to AZW. For one thing, they can have JavaScript in them...
