Hi,

I wonder if anyone ever thought of a way to use ja (jailbroken) Kindle as a frontend to an android device.

E.g. when heading out to the beach I may have WiFi but don't have my phone around. Better have a 50$ Kindle than a 500-1000$ phone stolen...
Is therea way to use the Kindle as a frontend for my android device sitting at home? Especially it would be great to do ms365 emails, Gmails, MS Teams and Whatsapp. Maybe Facebook messenger.

The only tooling I found that might be helpful is the vncviewer for Kindle in Kombination with https://github.com/bk138/droidVNC-NG

But if the Kindle and the android device aren't in the same network this will probably not work easily.

Any other ideas?
