(what interests me, is the possibility to use mouse/keyboard, so are there text editors on rapberry pi's ? (I've nevre used one...))
If the Kindle acts merely as a screen for your Raspberry Pi, then you could run anything.

The Raspberry Pi is not a device with a locked OS and in fact it usually isn't shipped with any particular OS preinstalled. You can load the OS you want on an SD card (they recommend 8Gb of class 4) and use it on your Raspberry Pi. A popular solution is to go with a Linux distro such has Raspbian.

Raspberry Pies are awesome little devices! I'm working on a project centered around it at the moment and I'm loving it.
