Let's see if this is possible:
In Windows, Virtual Desktop + Displaying only that desktop (reflecting - transferring screen on to) Kindle
With this you'll be able to code on laptop and read on your eBook reader in the following scenario: Open a PDF on laptop (maybe in a second virtual desktop?!) and the eReader when connecting via VNC over USB only sees this screen or a client-server program nahte wrote for DXG. One can then go back to first/main desktop and do all stuff and still kindle is showing what is on the second screen (which is PDF file).
How can I do this? I have tried VirtuaWin, Dexpot, and the app called Desktops from Windows itself, to no avail.
This is somewhat similar to what Linux does with its screen:1 or screen:2 or ...
Or if you are familiar with NX technology, you know client can connect to server independently... which is its difference with VNC.
One might think this is stupid idea, but here is another use-case (a bit different from above): I'd like to open a PDF in my laptop (Adobe Acrobat), forget about LCD of my laptop and just enjoy reading off of my Kindle screen... When I need to annotate or highlight (using powerful Adobe on the laptop) I just do it so. With this, I don't have to deal with exporting highlights from my PDF and do some magic to incorporate my notes and highlights back to the PDF for archival purposes.
