Hi all /wave

strange request, but wanted to see what people think about it etc.

Since the PB360 runs off of a linux base, what would be the possability of having a app created for it that could read the kindle format directly?

I realize that it is HIGHLY unlikely that it would be an official app from the company due to lic agreements etc etc ( lack on amazons part to let them do it ).

But what about a 3rd party / hacker being able to create an app that would run on the 360 to do this?

is this something that people might be interested in ( other then me ROFL ), do you think its even possible?

Topic for conversation etc and maybe .. just maybe .. someone might get a small bug and want to try it out and see how it goes.
