when using the apple wiring adaptor for my headset the headphones seem to work but i think one of the ear pieces is acting like a mic when I use arecord
anyhow my idea for using my K5 in the bath is a small micro controller with real switches that can be activated through a water proof case.
the mC would send "tones" meaning page back and so forth.
is there any inter-process communications with the framework?
I suppose a touch event could be injected into the xorg event system, but does the framework use it?
really would like to be able to use my K5 in the bath!

The microphone is behind a small rectangular opening next to the USB port. The headpone jack is for stereo headphones, not for a mic/earphone headset.
There is now a USB host stack for some microcontrollers, which could see the kindle as a USB device, and send it commands. Or you could just wire remote switches across the kindle internal prev-page and next-page switches and skip the microcontroller.
