Hi, I haven't received my Kindle DX yet but I started looking around these forums. I like to install hacks on my gadgets when available (hackintonsh, Canon camera firmware, etc.) but my problem with the Kindle is that I don't know what they are needed for. So far, I've seen:
-Fonts hack - I guess that it's useful to replace Kindle built in fonts.
-Screen saver hack - replacing the screen saver (why?)
-USB network - connecting to th einternet through USB instead of whispernet.
But I couldn't figure out if therer are others. Perhaps there could be a "hack list" sticky?
Thanks!
