No to Skype as described below, also there is no microphone for speaking. It does have a two small speakers for listening to audio books and MP3 files and a port for a earphone jack which is nice to listening to such as on a plane.
Someone would have to put a Skype application on it.
No. It doesn't run Windows. It runs on a Linux kernel. There is also a software development kit for making applications. There have been some hacks for older versions in the past, too.
It's no meant for adding software too, but for reading and listening to audio. I think you are wanting to make it into a netbook, and that's just not it's intention.
It has two speakers on the back.

THANKS TO BOTH OF BOTH ALISHA/ASTORIA FOR THAT.
Has anyone on the previous kindles installed comic book reading software..windows or linux type.
will it be able to read RTF files.
i hear the kindle does have a mic .not used at the moment.
also i hear amazon will keep a back up and they can also delete your books remotely which means they can also read your PRIVATE DOCUMENTS remotely ,copy them or use that info to steal from you like credit card details.
you may have heard how the book 1984 by Orwell was remotely deleted by Amazon from a students kindle and he sued them
This means they must have accessed his kindles files remotely.This means they can read all your private files and copy them and distribute them,delete them,sell them or pass them to police.
or a disgruntled amazon employee could steal them or do i.d fraud or even download disgusting dirty child poern on to the kindle to destroy you.
in fact these concerns have not been discussed at all in the excitement.
perhaps we should discuss them now.
in the papers a teacher downloaded child poern onto a rivals laptop to implicate him and steal his job as he was next in line.
the rival has been completely destroyed even though a court case proved. he was framed.people spit at him in the street.
this means they could frame you easily.
