>black-and-white LCD and lightweight processors
I wish there was a modern-ish Kindle that supported an SSH client. I'd definitely carry that around instead of a laptop some days.
- morganvachon 11y agoThe more modern Kindle devices don't have a physical keyboard (I've tried typing on my wife's Kindle Paperwhite, it's not a pleasant experience) and are harder to mod. What you're looking for is a Kindle 2 or Kindle 3 (AKA "Kindle Keyboard") which can boot a light version of Ubuntu[1], or you can just add a SSH client to the existing Kindle software[2]. Get the 3G version and you have a SSH client that works practically anywhere.
