Hi all & thanks to all the knowhow I found here.
I came across a kindle with a broken screen, so imagine an ebook reader without e-ink display and started jb'ing it. A few lines are still visible, so I managed to activate usbNetwork.

So now I am trying to figure out what kind of new job to give to the device. Its great to have the rootshell, but now I have to figure how things work on the kindle. I did some openwrt hacking before..

Having no display has a few implications: configuration should mainly rely on files in /mnt/us
or on some kind of web interface on the local lan.
(or voice guide menus???)

One idea is to use launchpad + mplayer and make it an internetradio.

I'd really like to be able to use the 3G module some way. Not with the amazon sim card but with my own local telco sim card!

How does the kindle connect to 3G? I haven't found any relating stuff and also couldnt find any hint in general how to use an anydata 3G module in linux.
has anybody managed to get 3G data connections working with their mobile phone's sim card (or other?)
or get the wwan module running in a netbook device?

Also, is there any chance to get usb host mode working? the hardware seems to support all kind of usb modes, on the wwan module socket there is probably an usb host connection that could be used instead of the wwan module ...

would be happy to get some ideas & input from you!
