This has been one of my long term goals. We have the ability to display full screen smooth video on K3 and later (see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=177455).

I have also figured out how to do smooth video on DX and DXG, but I have not released anything yet.

There is also a "SIP on kindle thread for VOIP":

For skype, we could borrow code from the video and the VOIP thread, I think...

Skype "desktop api" text protocol: https://developer.skype.com/accessories

It looks like the "skype for asterisk" driver will be killed off in one year:

After microsoft bought skype, linux support is going away. Go figure.

It seems that some people think you should use Ekiga instead of Skype:

... It seems that most of what google is finding for me for arm linux skype is just using the skype text messaging. Although I am interested, I am not finding much useful here. I need more information about what is possible here...
