Can the kindle 3 be used as a text editor with copy/paste function somehow? There are a self supporting program for this or a linux guru that can make a text editor for kindle?

If you install a terminal application, you can use the limited vi (from busybox) that is already installed.

You can also try mcedit - Midnight Commander's internal editor.
Works best with the kiterm terminal (install as a launchpad replacement).

Thanks.
I take the K3 with 3g two days ago

and instal succesfuly duokan and a jailbreak for download any type of file but this jailbreak not alow me over 3G to do this.
I think that I try busybox, Midnight Commander and kiterm but i don't know how to and I don't know what that program work for. I wish something to give me the posibility to copy text from webpage or book and paste in a simply text editor. That is posible?
