[sword-devel] Bible reading on the Amazon Kindle (Wireless Reading Device)

[Peter von Kaehne]

Not sure about the kindle, but the iLead which is another one of these devices runs Linux, X and has GTK installed. I think it should run Gnomesword. Unfortunately they are very expensive. I would love to have one. Then there is also the Hanlin V3 (also marketed as BeBook) which appears to be pretty good and again fully open source and Linux based
