If you plan to port another OS to the Amazon Kindle, something like jailbreaking the device over the serial port is a very minor task.
I was thinking of the 32GB PW-3 because of all that extra storage, but, for this project, any PW will do.

If it is possible to install some Android apks on the Kindle OS, there may be no need (for me, anyway) to port the Android OS. In that case, I'd be content to install the Android apps on a Kindle OS. There are perhaps four or five Android apps that I would run on a Kindle. No more.

I am assuming that the Kindle would need to be jailbroken before such a project is possible. That rules out my Oasis for now, as it runs 5.8.9. But, a used or refurbished PW-3 is probably the way to go. It minimizes the loss if I brick it!
