Hi All!

I am going to buy a reader in order to read PDF's and Amazon books with formulas.
So, it should have a wide screen (Kindle devices will not do the job), ideally as a small laptop.

I have found out that Onyx has very huge screens up to 13" and they also run Android.
So I thought, it should be possible to just install the Android market and Kindle Reader App on it, wouldn't it? Has anyone tried to do that, reading Kindle books on Android based device (preferably Onyx) (without resorting to some unofficial hackery, where one would extract Kindle book, convert it using unofficial converter etc.)?

It looks like a valid use-case to me, but who knows if there are some licensing restrictions, that Amazon/Onyx impose on their content... So I wanted to be on the safe side before buying any devices.
