Is it possible to have active content - specifically any reasonable chess game
on KT3 ?. If so I'll consider jailbraking it to the desired firmware.

longer story

I got KT3 for my son. I decided to go with KT3 because from the past I remembered that that Kindle possible to jail brake and have best community support. Apparently I was not aware how much Amazon became anti consumer monster

I would consider to jailbrake it if will support active content and some board games - most importantly chess

Side question. Is there any possibility to add Hebrew and Polish language - just for the purpose of searching in pdf documents.

Ps.
I am PC technician with over 20 years of experience. but I am basically green with e- readers.
What surprised me that Amazon in the case of Kindle became very much owner of the of the the devices it sold to customers and decides for them what and how they will use it. As for today it looks as it has the same or worse patronizing approach that Microsoft has in PC market.
BTW as I got my unit with Special Offers I was amazed that while I was requesting the removal of (as I live overseas) it with the Amazon representative via Chat support. He/She was able to do it - ie turn off it without any my involvement.
Basically when the network is connected the Amazon has always full control over your Kindle. Sometimes is convenient but generally it is very scary and not healthy situation. It is like windows computer would come with preinstalled Team Viewer can you can not turn of and only MS has the access to it.

Thanks a lot everybody who is a part mobileread and tries to make e-readers more sensible .
