I am trying to put HunkyPunk on my K4 so that I can run Zork, among others. In order to do that I need to load Android. I can't find any reference on here that describes how to do it (mostly because when I search for 'Android on K4' the search machine ignores the 'on K4' part) so I was wondering if anyone that sees this could direct me to the process. I have already done the jailbreak procedure successfully, but nothing past that.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!

Short answer: there is no Android for the K4 (or any other e-ink Kindle).

Long answer: it should theoretically be possible to get Android to run on those machines. But you'd be in for some major (and I mean MAJOR!) development -- probably dozens of man-years, and requiring expertise from ARM assembly and kernel-level drivers to UI programming and polishing.
