It seems the kindlet may might not be the easiest way to start.

Reflecting on the step to start coding. What about instead of a kindlet create a 'hack' that would be triggered with a shortcut (SHIFT E D) like I use for the FB of TY (reader and terminal... can't remember the name of the launcher at this point... too lazy). That would resolve some of the limitation of the kindlet right?

Also to simplify the first step, I think I will aim to create a java app that will 1) pull the imap new email only, 2) download the email as text 3) save the email as .mobi in the user document folder and (or simply .txt at first) 4) mark these imap email as read (so they don't get re-downloaded each time. The .mobi would be formatted trough java as a simple html book. That would actually be a nice first step for my usage anyhow... and the new email would appear right in your main listing...

Thinking out loud here...
