@Yrb the terms he uses makes no sense for people who have no expertise within the following two areas: electronics/linux – so i suggest crocheting a brain (if you get that one :) ) or at least a little moral sense.

I advise everyone to watch not just the kindle part but the entire video, it’s quite interesting.

And yes it’s a flash embed and no i can’t see why there should be anything wrong with it :)

The new Kindle Global has a native PDF reader, and free global Wifi.

I don’t think anything “stops” PDFs from going on the Kindle. I didn’t detect an invisible shield popping up over my Kindle — I can put anything on it, basically. PDF’s won’t WORK on the Kindle, because there’s no PDF reader on it, but to say DRM stops PDFs from going on the Kindle is a bit too incoherent for me.

Brilliant.

I think I might buy one, but only when the DRM which stops PDFs going on the Kindle is removed.

The difference between cool and useful would be when some-one gets a desk-top running on a kindle. To save power, it would have to avoid things like constantly changing clocks and flash animations etc. Quite a challenge :)

@beavis: If you do get ubuntu running on your atari 2600 make sure to send it in. I’d love to see it.

i’m curious why he chose ubuntu, but frankly not curious enough to watch the video.

I’m not into the whole Kindle scene, but it’s nice to see something other than Arduino hack’s that really aren’t useful for much more than oddities.
