Ben Yarmis has taken an old Amazon Kindle e-reader, hacked the software and then created a connection to a Raspberry Pi Zero run from a portable USB battery pack. Called the Kindleberry Pi Zero W, the system is a great way to get a portable set-up, although Yarmis admits that the screen refresh rate holds things back a bit. We’ve seen this kind of thing before, of course, but Ben has documented the process thoroughly over on his blog.
Wow 🙂 Great project but I am not sure I will jailbreak my Kindle Paperwhite just for this 🙂
Can you do the same with small Chinese android tablet ?
Yes, you could. You’d need an SSH app on the tablet to remote into the Pi. Very feasible.
