Sadly, there was a post at hackaday about tethering 3G, with a heated discussion between the script kiddies and the kindle enthusiasts who hang out here (or did at the time of that hackaday post)...

The script kiddie path (as seen at hackaday) is fraught with peril, and learning linux is the safe way to go from here, to accomplish all sorts of kindle wizardry, while learning how to use it properly and with respect to the kindle TOS.

Such a script might be hacked to work on a wifi-only kindle (with a little new linux knowledge), however such a script should not be reposted back at these forums, nor should details about how to use or abuse it...
so I could use the 3G hack for wifi?

Theoretically, but do it wrong and you risk getting your Kindle blacklisted.
It may not be that big a risk if you are careful, but with a miniature USB WiFi stick being as cheap as $10 and the value of your Kindle being much higher and the tether being far less convenient than the stick, the risk/reward ratio is poor.

You need root access, using USBnet. Adding a jailbreak key is optional...

Check the "debricking" threads for details, or browse the master index wiki.

Not so as I understand it. The 50 MB monthly limit on Kindle Keyboard 3G browsing is only applied when away from one's home country so for me based in the UK I would have to go overseas to be affected.

Well, if you get creative clicking links in social networking, there are several paths that lead to google.com, and from there, anywhere. Google is your friend.

But more an educational (or emergency) exercise, rather than a simple and practical web browsing experience. Just saying...

Even on the PaperWhite.

Yes. Just a (long) series of allowed clickable links starting in social networking. No way to enter a URL in the social networking applets until you get to a google search page...

It just goes to show that 3G tethering could be dangerous even on a K5 or PW, when social networking and web browsing both use web applets, and have different restrictions. It is up to us to play nice with amazon and not exploit this knowledge to the detriment of all. But useful in a pinch, if that is all you have...

I cannot see how "just clicking links" in social networking can be construed as a violation of the TOS, but just remember to not abuse it. And I will not tell you which links to click to get there. Learn that yourself (like playing a learning game).

And of course, configuring ANY tethering can be abusive, because the kindle does not care where it gets the network access it is sharing (either wifi or 3G).
