Strange suggestion / request ... kindle app for 360?
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. |

This might be doable on the Pocketbook IQ.
Otherwise, I would not hold my breath. To get Kindle reader on Pocketbook or anything else without Amazon cooperation isn't simply a matter of extracting the app from a Kindle and copying it over; the software plaforms and the hardware are different enough that you really need source code access. And since Amazon will only license it to reader vendors willing to support Whispersync, which requires at least WiFi, the PB360 doesn't qualify. Best bet, hope the IQ carries enough Pocketbook software to make it a worthwhile buy. |
