The kindle system is a joy to dig around in. The UI‘s based on X, awesome WM, GTK and a bunch of mostly unobfuscated shell scripts and JS.
One thing I‘d love would to find a way to make it wake up every once in a while to turn it into an auto-refreshing display. I haven’t found a way to do so without external hardware (which could save a lot of power by not having to wake the whole system, but I think the wakeup can’t be triggered via the serial port and other contacts aren’t as easily accessible).
