While hunting for my 16GB Wifi SD card (hacked so I can SSH into its internal processor), I found another bag of microSDHC cards. I really do not feel like testing them for K1 compatibility. I have enough for that purpose now.

The reason I want that Wifi SD card is that I can SSH in over wifi, and it can read and write to the same SD storage space as the kindle. There are still the problems with potential filesystem corruption (whoever writes a given block last wins). But as I mentioned, I should be safe with pre-allocated files, where both sides have complete control over who gets to write where (within that chosen file or files). That will let me run a rudimentary "shared file" remote shell (which I have already tested between a VM and its host PC). The SD card processor and the kindle do not have any other means of communication other than (potentially risky) shared files, but with careful management that should be fine.

That is a quick way to gain remote shell, until I manage to compile all dependencies for usbnet access. The only other alternative its corkscrewing a shell over whispernet, and as I said before, that is a bad idea for multiple reasons.

Anyway, the next best option until I find that wifi card (new purchases are off-the-table at the moment) is an on-device terminal, now that I know all the K1 keycodes.
