Hi All,

As a disappointed new KV owner I just came to know that Active Content support has been dropped in this device. In my limited knowledge of the platform kindlets more or less equate to Active Content.

As I've some extensive experience in j2me programming, kindlets'd be my first choice for kindle development but... are those possible at all on the KV?

If not, given we have root access to the device maybe some components could be taken from the PW to reinstate kindlet support. Has anyone looked into this?

Failing all of that, what remaining avenues remain for homebrew on the KV?

Thanks very much for any insights!
