Got a Kindle as a present today which was a nice surprise. Soon found out one downside is the restricted handling of formats: my music is all in ogg format, and I'm working with epubs for my ebooks. I know I can convert everything to mpeg/mobi formats, but I don't see why I should have to go backwards to more closed formats.

So I started looking at jailbreaking: again a nice surprise, now I can ssh in to a nice linux bookreader. But looking round for apps to install I've been a bit baffled: what I've seen so far are fonts and screensavers, plus a stalled attempt to create a full Qt environment. Nothing inbetween. Am I missing something? Has anyone started porting other applications (like music players and epub readers!) over? Is there another forum for this? Or is the environment too specialised for it to be do-able?
