Description of a reverse engineering project that has hacked its way to
a Linux console on the Kindle and found: a minesweeper game, a picture
viewer, and a connection to Google Maps (apparently with some initial
work done toward a GPS "What can I buy around here?" function). Maybe
this is a peek at Kindle 2.0 functionality.
If nothing else, the source blog posts are an interesting record of
someone who *really* wanted to know how his Kindle worked.
