Exclamation Kindle 4.0NT - Hacks, alternative firmwares, apps ?

Don't own a Kindly 4.0 NT yet, but thinking of ordering one soon. I'd be quite interested in extending the capabilities of the default software shipped with the Kindle 4.0 NT.

I tried searching the forums, but unsure of the keyword combinations. I did find the pinned thread about Kindle 4.0 NT thread regarding shortcuts, but I didn't find anything about hacks, or extensions / applets etc.

Things I am hoping to achieve are:
1. Calculator app
2. Note taking app
3. Books to read list
4. Small , simple 2D games - Tetris, Minesweeper etc.

Have no idea if apps can be programmed for the Kindle 4.0 NT and how such apps may be side loaded.

Okay, found this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=181139

And the right tag: "k4nt" (though I'm not sure how to edit my original post/thread to add the tag).

Can anyone confirm the firmware version on the K4NT shipping currently (direct from Amazon, not old stock from some reseller).

Do not worry about which firmware version is being shipped. Worry about which updates are available at http://amzn.com/kindlesoftwareupdates
