I have a strange request - I want to permanently disable or (preferably) delete the web browser on my Kindle 4 (non-touch).

I assume this may be possible, but it is probably beyond my skills. If someone would be so kind as to walk me through the steps to possibly do this I would be incredibly grateful.

I might even be willing to send someone a little something via PayPal to help me come up with a way to do this for my Kindle...

Essentially my desire is to maintain all the perks of a wonderful e-reader without having open Internet access on the device. Another potential work around is to somehow password lock the browser - but I assume that is more difficult and requires actual programming as opposed to some hacking and slashing.
