Question: would it be possible to hack a Kindle such that you can send your own files to your own device through the EVDO connection? It seems logical that it would be technically possible, although perhaps difficult. Note I am not talking about a connection through Amazon in any way, but rather temporarily connecting to your device through a wireless cell connection somehow. You could then use Calibre and a cell modem to create a localized and device-specific delivery of your morning newsfeeds, for example. Maybe not feasible, but I hope those who have the technical understanding could comment on the potential.
