The host PC is configured as a router or gateway for the kindle.

On a Windows host PC, you can use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126

On a linux host PC, you can use iptables:

27.2. VNC/RDP over WiFi

There are numerous VNC with just HTML5/JavaScript/Ajax around... and here I'm going to introduce some of them. Personally, I was striving to port KindleVNCviewer to KT so I can use Kindle as a screen for my laptop in emergencies and that's now accomplished opensourcedly (a new English word ).

ThinVNC
Guacamole - HTML5 Clientless Remote Desktop
noVNC: didn't work for me!
AjaxVNC

My suggestion to you guys is ThinVNC, works like charm. I'm going to make Guacamole and ThinVNC better, and I'll update when that's done.

28: how about a torrent client for kindle? Tuned into some specialized tracker on ebooks?

[twobob]

I have those for a 3.

I'll go figure out what package it is. maybe someone could re-build it.

[twobob]

rtorrent, ctorrent (and libtorrent) are what I have for the 3.

30: Kindle Read Later (with comments)

As far as I know, with all existing Kindle Read Later tools, bookmark or plugins, when you use it on a page or blogs with comments, the comments are not converted and sent to Kindle. Does anyone know any solution? If not, we have to develop.

if you use Send to Kindle of Klip.me you can edit the text and add the comments here just before pressing the Send button. To able to do that you should select and copy the comments before using this extension.

What with your work at porting the entire Debian repository system to the Kindles . . .

You are heading for the second most frequent response:
1) Re-charge the battery.
2) twobob has been there, done that, search his threads.

Maybe we need a Index just for twobob

It is probably a good idea.

He is just making a "survey" of what works and what doesn't with notes about how much work it might require to fix the things that don't work OOTB.

But still, that is a really big first step for anyone that wants to follow up with working out the details.

Hmm...
A wiki page: "The twobob survey index" ???

Heck, that could be a measurement of how likely a program is to work on the kindle.... 135tsi or something

[knc1]

Yeah, good idea, score them in the (new) TSI (twobob survey index) measure.

Just like Linux from Scratch -
They measure (or score) the build difficulty as units of "binutils time".

Heh. Just call me the million monkeys

if someone fuelled me with some decent usable (as in "I can gorram understand it enough to use it") Eink dithering code: I might be dangerous.

In the interim. 1 million monkeys.

I just heard from one of my old MiniModding.com members who is currently playing with Android based media players.

If I can get him interested in the challenge in fast dithering ....

You might Blog or Article about the challenge of plugging GM code into the kernel e-ink driver layers where he can see it (I'll make it visible to him).
