make 'amazon kindle' e-reader as pc display
Greetings,
my english isn't best so please forgive me any language mistakes.
I hope we'll understand well.
So - i'm offering to earn few dollars for few hours of Your time doing something quite interesting.
From long time all my activities connected with computers are painful because me eyes are becoming tired very fast, which cause headache and generally make work impossible.
Cure for my problems is e-ink, im in possesion of Amazon kindle 3 now and it's beyond awesome for me. I've checked a lot of sites and keywords about ' e-ink monitor ', or desktop display, or using e-ink reader as computer display - and at this moment there isn't single device od market with such a function, but a lot of prototypes.
I've found also, that almost all e-ink readers are functioning on linux. My knowledge about linux is less than none, but some people written, that it should be possible to somehow make kindle a display for pc by making some linux operations on both
devices.
What i'm asking You is not:
- informing me about disadvantages of e-ink display, framerates, movies, speed and any other things, i don't care about any of those at all
- informing me about some crap imitations of e-ink like pixel qi, anything which isn't exactly e-ink is in my book worth nothing in terms of comfortable work with text
What i'm really asking is someone that will seriously try to make amazon kindle a monitor/display for netbook/notebook/pc. I'm really not geek at all, so i will not understand any of details, i'm asking someone to do it - and write precise, step by step
guide for me which will tell me what i should do to use my kindle as computer display.
It may need change of OS, it may cause lose of data, it doesn't matters - what i need is fully operational internet browser with mouse and keyboard - on e-ink. So kindle attached to any
kind of pc/netbook as display will be great.
If task need some changes with hardware, or inside device
- i can buy the one that You will modify from You after i will see pictures as proof that it works.
If someone will help me - i will pay.
It's quite hard for me to somehow ' prove it here ' - but i just will, we will work out Your fee and other details.
I'm open on any suggestions, i just need to achieve the goal.
Thank You for Your interest.
Please help me.
