Hi all,

I found some info on the web a few months ago, about using a kindle as a raspberry pi screen,

and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with this ?

I have a kindle dx graphite, however have mostly found tutorials for other kindle models (kindle3, 4, paperwhite, ...), would this also work on the DX(G)?

Another question, is what can you do with a kindleberry? what kind of programs could you run?
(what interests me, is the possibility to use mouse/keyboard, so are there text editors on rapberry pi's ? (I've nevre used one...))

(Another question, would this also work with other e-readers, like onyx M96 (It seems to work on other andoid tablets, does anyone know if usb tethering is enabled on the M96?), or Sony DPT-S1?)

Thanks in advance !!!

PS: Something like this looks quite cool !!!

(but I haven't found a tutorial for the dx, would it be the same steps as for the kinlde 3?)

PPS: has anyone tried this ?: http://www.adafruit.com/product/1303
