Here you go, make your own firmware. Add support for whatever you wish.

Also, those of you who are happy with the Kindle as it is obviously don't spend any time reading technical documents or any documents as PDF. The Kindle support for PDF is amazingly bad - I'm not even sure why they talk about it so much or that this fact hasn't been pointed out. It doesn't even support document links in PDF, so you cannot jump between chapters, or jump between sections of the PDF.
How come no one has made an epub app yet? or have they?

I was under the impression that these developers were making hacks, not legitimate applications recognized by Amazon.
