As a general question:
I have experience with python, apache, linux and bsd but not with the kindle yet.
Is there a compendium of kindle-os specific info? so that I dont have to ask too many questions and can find out on my own?
my next step would be to connect to and read udp data and/or to connect to and read from signal k running on a raspberry on the same network.
Thanks a lot!
There's no decent source of Kindle specific data apart from the forum itself; the wiki has bits and pieces but it's scattered about and is often severely outdated.

Broadly speaking, the Kindle OS consists of a (usually ancient) Linux kernel and a userland that would have been considered really modern circa ~2011. Reading a few books on embedded Linux from that era will give you a good idea of how things work internally.
