Is it possible to view the Kindle folders on my PC, via Windows Explorer, using only the Wi-Fi connection? I know I can do this using the USB cable, but as I'm trying to drain my battery (takings DAYS, which I guess is a good thing ), I don't want to use the cable and start recharging at the same time.

Any suggestions much appreciated.
Kindle runs on top of Linux, a different operating system so any kind of file sharing must be done via SAMBA which I guess implies hacking your Kindle device; SAMBA emulates Netbios and the way Windows shares and connect to folders via network/wifi.

Now, if the Kindle is connected to your access point, I guess is visible and you can potentially access via ssh or any other method; I have not tried but I am assuming you will have to hack it anyway and start the ssh service. Amazon won't leave a Device with open ports and no security at all.
