| I was inspired by my sister as she had one for her studies and pleasure. One day I saw her playing around with it and asked her to show me what this all about. She showed me everything and I soon came to the conclusion that this little e-reader might be capable of more than just reading books so I started to investigate in the net. I found a whole community about kindle development. I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information about this topic out there. Unfortunately most of the articles for making you own Kindlets and such where obsolete and made for older versions of the Kindle API. Here you see a collection of my and also others or amended tutorials and information about Kindle Paperwhite development. |
