Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone moded their kindle 3. The first mod I am looking to experiment with is to change the kindle connector to a normal mini usb connection. I wouldn't think it's too hard and the pinout is almost the same - the mini connector cable are simply more available.

The second one would be a lot trickier if not imposible, but I was wondering if it has been done to add a micro sd card reader to the kindle 3? that would really kick some serious ass but would be probably quite hard.

Any other modder out there ? I searched trough the forum and mostly found software hack and no hardware hack atm.

I found some discussion on the board that lead nowhere:

thanks!
