OK. I love my N9. There is only one thing missing: Amazon Kindle. Now, I see absolutely no way that Amazon is going to get around to producing Kindle software for Maemo.
So I've been thinking about workaround, and was wondering what people thing about these approaches:
1. Fool Amazon Cloud Reader into working on the N9. Currently it throws up an 'unsupported browser' error. But, it might be possible to either get the official browser (or possibly Chromium) working by playing with the user agent string or equivilient.
2. Get DosBox working. We could then run a single application install of Windows95 working (and use an old version of Kindle for PC). Alternatively, we could use WINE under Linux under DosBox...
3. Get a working copy of Alien Dalvik (or alternative) and then use the apk of Android Kindle.
Does anyone have any ideas which (if any) of these ideas is the most promising. Or am I wasting my time?
Many thanks
Robert
