Hi !

As part as a project I will need to display at startup the content of a web page (basically an image). And then update this content each hour (for example). I saw a thread (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=210210) who will allow me to display the page in full screen.

But how can I do it at startup, without any "human" intervention ?

Then, it would be even better if I manage to fully replace the OS by a basic Linux who will only launch my web browser with the url I want.
Do you think this is possible and if so, do you have any ideas ?
I confess, I'm really new with kindle tablet and the project is quite short, so if it gets really complicated I will keep the first option.

Thanks for your advices.

Vadim
