Thank you for your repies...

I am rethinking this whole endeavor and it may be beyond my capabilities. I am fluent in C# and visual Basic, but a real noob when it comes to Linux. Say I were to purchase a refurb Kindle Touch (with special offers) from Amazon, what would be the steps to get at the underlying Linux and start putting characters out the port? Would I first start here,

and use the data.tar.gz method?
