Careful, you might drag these Kindles into the 19th century:

Hmm...
I guess they didn't have BlueTooth headsets in 1879.

Or later, like the 20th century:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videoph...one_technology
They (AT&T) boasted of (up to) 10 frames/second but 3 frames/second was more common in the real world.

So except for the slowest model - your already there - slow-scan video calls on a "book" isn't all that bad.

Might have to re-awaken that SIP thread (which seemed to die off at finding matching audio library versions).
