This is my project, was very happy to see it suddenly on the front page.
I've been using it for over a year and its consistently been useful if anyone is on the fence about building one.

- igonvalue 6y agoIn order for this to work, one needs to jailbreak the Kindle. Is there a way to jailbreak a Kindle Oasis running the 5.12.x firmware? (My reading of the MobileRead Forums says this is impossible.)
- captn3m0 6y agoNot possible currently.
- dkarp 6y agoI did a similar project with Kindle Paperwhite running for over 2 months on a full charge. It would boot early each morning, connect to wifi, pull latest weather and news, generate a png containing weather and news, show the png on the screen, shut down wifi, set RTC to boot again tomorrow and power down. The problem I had is that eventually when it ran out of battery, I charged it and the process didn't kick off again. Probably I just need to ssh back in a get it going again, but I lost interest at that point!
