I'm guessing the hacks posted in this very forum, to trick the Kindle into thinking it is registered... in order to gain full access to the darn settings menu.

Which is well-known to not survive connecting to Amazon's servers.

Answer -- first thing you do after a reboot is enable BBB. Should be doable via upstart/cron.


nitant -- you cannot use send-to-kindle except through Amazon but feel free to use cron to regularly schedule a batch download of whatever you like, although perhaps other solutions like USBNetwork syncing might work out better.
