I am using the Kindle 2, but it looks like this is doable. Could you be more specific on doing it? I prefer to just install the font (which one do I use for Hebrew?) and not a web server. Do I have to use the python update script, or is it possible to copy a few file to my Kindle?
It is not that easy for me to get a new one where I am, so I'd rather not brick the device... Z.
