Probably a custom full-screen browser would be possible to do? But we would prefer to offload all the computational power on to kindle and use only a very small MCU for actual data acquisition and retransmission to kindle, without running an OS or web server on the MCU...
Here's an outside-of-the-box suggestion.

There are ereaders which have an E-ink screen, run Android, and can do USB OTG via a microUSB port (some even have BT).

Would it be possible to use one of those, running a custom Android app?
