New Hack Lets You Convert eBooks for Viewing on a Kindle 2

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

A few weeks after Jesse Vincent, an inveterate hacker, yielded to his strong urge to hack another popular gadget, Savory was born. Savory is a Kindle 2 app that converts .pdf and .epub files into the .mobi format supported by the ebook reader. Though similar solutions have been available on the internet for quite sometime, Savory is unique as it executes the conversion on Amazon’s ebook reader itself. But like all great things, Savory has its limitations. It doesn’t support Kindle 1 and won’t convert ebooks protected by DRM. Please note that running unsigned code may void your manufacturer’s warranty.

I was going to say iPhone, but firmware probably counts as hardware. I would assume you have to hack the Kindle firmware for this.
