The Kindle can run code?! I am so sad I didn't get the 3G one...

Yeah, it kind of makes it an awesome way to check in on your servers while you're on the go, with the free 3G on Kindles. Of course you'll get similar (100mb free 3g) with Chrome netbooks when they come out.

Only in the US, though...

For future reference, the Kindle SDK: http://kdk.amazon.com/

I applied for kdk access when it was first announced in January. Never a word. I think Amazon moved too slow here, because now I don't really care. I've moved on and enjoy building for the iPad.

Is there a good central website for Kindle hacks?

Moreover, I cannot imagine Amazon is happy about 3rd-party code accessing the 3G which is paid by Amazon...

There was supposed to be a Kindle app store. Not sure what happened to it.

There are some apps in the normal Kindle store (mostly games), but no separate app store.

According to Amazon (https://kdk.amazon.com/gp/vendor/sign-in?ie=UTF8&origina...), if you are offering active contents that have access to their Whispernet mobile network, unless you are selling your app on a monthly subscription basis, you are limited to use at most 100KB / month for a single user.

This guy teached me shell scripting during college.

I've enjoyed his class.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to run the program. Looks like I need a root shell? Any tips would be helpful - spent about an hour researching.
