Hi,

I use my Kindle 3 WiFi on my commute where it has no WiFi connection.

The Kindle is rooted and I'd like to create a cron job which wakes the Kindle at times when it should be in a place with WiFi available (home, work) and force it to sync the current reading location with the amazon network, so I can continue reading with the Kindle App on my Android.

I already found the command for waking up the Kindle (lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd wakeUp 1), but how do I start the syncing and can I put the Kindle back to suspend mode via another command or would I have to wait until it suspends automatically?

Any help on this is very appreciated, because if I can't find a way to accomplish the sync I'll have to buy a 3G Kindle

Ciao,
Steffen
