- I now see that this enthusiasm has had me write too much in the initial post before the single question was asked...

- considering that I am not a native english speaker, I should thus have restricted to a more direct question, but I didn't want to be impolite, so I tried to express what I had in mind... Now I am wondering if my confirmation of Kterm working on KT3W/5.8.1.1 was impolitely given, I didn't want to upset anyone

- the bluetooth problems I was referring to were on Linux PC, Raspberry Pi and Android, as a simple user with software that didn't always work as it should, or with small developments with Bluetooth controllers that didn't support the Bluetooth profiles I would have wished...

- I didn't know that the Kindle platform already had an integrated (unactivated) bluetooth in the previous versions, like eschwarz says : I thought this was something new to the KT3, which made me realize how great this Kindle would be with an optional external keyboard...

" For inspiration, see:

"

Ouch, this is so true...
I admit I should have tried to dig into the bluetooth software before asking...
I've surely been lazy, but as a newcomer I thought that someone with more experience here had already had a look at the bluetooth capabilities of the KT3...
Will learn my lessons and do more tests before asking, sorry...
So that is your subject and context.
Let me see if I can come up with a positive example:

title: (prefix KT3) Question on the bluetooth capabilities

Hello,
I have a general question about the bluetooth capabilities of the Amazon KT3.

This is my first experience in the Amazon Kindle world.
I just purchased my first device only last week.

As a user, in the past I have had problems with bluetooth on Linux PC, Raspberry Pi and Android devices.
Can someone here tell me about the bluetooth capabilities of this KT3?

My ultimate objective is to use bluetooth devices in addition to the ones Amazon lists as supported.

Please consider that English is not my native language.
The context, the question and the objective.
(At least that is how my mind translates your first two posts.)

If you agree that is a reasonable paraphrase of your question,
then we can get on with the being helpful part.
