KindleBerry Pi.

I saw this on the RPi.org website this morning and I thought that it would be easier to do the whole set-up just without the Raspberry Pi connected to the USB port on the RPi.

I have a Kindle 3 Wi-Fi edition. An Edumax USB Wi-Fi adapter. A Raspberry Pi.

Will this work and if so, ... how would I configure the /etc/network/interfaces file so that I can use wlan0 as an Ad-Hoc Network between the Raspberry Pi and the Kindle? With the Raspberry Pi with a static IP Address and the kindle (doesn't really matter what IP address - I think).

Then, He says something about using the USB keyboard attached to the Raspberry Pi, that should work the same right?

I still have to Jail-Break my kindle and install all the hacked software but I though I would raise the Question of the Wireless KindleBerry Pi.

Saw the picture and looks like something interesting to try but I'm not quite cool about screwing up my kindle, well not until a get a new one.

I was very excited with the new Paperwhite but only 2GB bummer, with all the zillion books including technical that are no small and a large collection of datasheets, users manuals, reference manuals, schematics, and other various pdf, 2GB is not enough for me. I've the Kindle keyboard with 4GB with less than 100MB left.

One of the projects I've on my list is to connect the IOIO board to the Rpi and see what can be done. (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10748)

I'm about to test it soon with the MK802.

Can you help me set-up the Kindleberry Pi? The Bashrc and Auto log-on script are not working.
