Just like how God creates the world:
"Let there be sound" and our Kindle Paperwhite can play music!
"Let there be ear" and our Kindle Paperwhite has Voice Control!!
Many people (including me) are very disappointed when Amazon has abandon the Speaker and Microphone from the Kindle Paperwhite's design.
They do this may be for saving money or try to make the device thinner or saving battery power - But whatever reason it might be, I personal think it is a very BAD decision!
But wait! If we can "think outside of the box",
there is an USB port on the Kindle Paperwhite! Although it is now used for Battery Charger and data storage transfer, can't we just connect it to a modified Headphone and Microphone?? 
A search on the Internet shows that there are a lot of JAVA codes for MP3 player, the only thing missing is we need to port it to Kindle and provide an interface to the hardware!
There are already USB headphones, USB external speaker and USB Microphones available on the market, so we may just use them off the shelf...
Of course, it is always easier to say than actually doing it! I am currently very busy of developing the Chinese Chess for Kindle and this project is not a small one that only one engineer can finish it. It need a team of engineers with Hardware and Sound/Voice interface experience to do it.
Anyone out there can give a hand? May be Amazon should fund this project!
I just want to hear MP3 music while reading my Kindle PW or say the words "Next Page" and it will go to next page without my hand touching the Kindle PW - Is that too much to ask??
