Hi, thanks for your work on this. I own a PW3 myself and I already installed some Linux distros on my Kobos (Debian, Alpine) that work well. I'll follow this closely, and I hope to get myself a serial to usb adapter for 1.8V soon...!

BTW, do you know if 3.3V could fry the Kindle? Because I've got a Raspberry Pi which works really well with the Kobo's serial ports, but it's only 3.3V.
