Kindle DX Notes and Links
Hardware Hacking
- Kindle DX serial console
- USB to TTL

OS Hacking
(The lines are blurred a little between hardware and OS/firmware hacking, as you have to do one to get to the other, then you can use the other to do more stuff with the first)
Mobi/AZW
- MOBI file format
- MobiPerl - apps and library for acting on mobi files. Includes mobi2mobi.
CHM to PDF
- Chimp seems to be the app that everyone recommends for converting Microsoft CHM "ebook" files to PDF. Unfortunately, it now seems to have been abandoned by the developers.
