[HH] Kindleberry: using a Kindle as a Raspberry Pi display

[Tom Metro]

Here's a variation on Federico's talk about turning a Raspberry Pi into
a portable workstation.


Kindleberry Wireless: Using a Raspberry Pi and Kindle Paperwhite as a
portable workstation

  An Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is a $119 eReader with long battery life
  and an outdoor viewable display. And if you poke around a bit, you'll
  find it's fairly hackable too.

  ...Max Ogden...pair[ed] his Kindle Paperwhite with a Raspberry Pi to
  create a low-power workstation that could be used outdoors.

  This isn't the first time we've seen a Kindle used as a Raspberry Pi
  display. But Ogden has posted instructions for using Amazon's latest
  eReader with an E Ink display. He's also created an entirely wireless
  system by adding WiFi and Bluetooth dongles to his Raspberry Pi.

  That lets him pair both the Kindle and a keyboard to the Raspberry Pi
  using wireless connections...


I guess that's one way to get around the connector problems Federico ran
into. Just use a display with its own CPU and wireless connection.
