Good news. A group in China is making a replacement OS for the Kindle.
you may remember the awful prequel star wars films which were utterly horrible with no story,drama,tension and horrible actors acting to a green screen and acting with terrible sound effects with that hideous twanging sound effect for spaceships.
you may remember it had a villain called count doukan who stood out like a sore thumb amongst the rubbish cardboard "actors".
while researching the kindle indexing issue lo and behold i came across a website which claimed the chinese had written a new os for the kindle 1 ,2 and 3 !!!
it is called duoken after the star wars geezer.
here is the link.
EPUB, CHM, DOC and djvu documents on your Kindle? It’s possible! The alternative OS for Kindle, Duokan, is now available with an english GUI supporting these document types. Duokan works with Kindle 2, 3 and DX and it will install besides the original OS, so you’re able to switch easily between it and the original Kindle OS.
you can install it it in 10 minutes.
you can switch between kindle os and doukon os!
it is thought to have folder support too.
and reads epub too!.
the lust goes on and on of the new features and i wonder if anyone here knows about it and has installed it and if they could youtube a demonstration of it so we can share their experience.
it is free too!
