I think this hack cannot be applied on version 2.5.6 (Kindle DX U.S)

The UFHack worked just fine on my DX, but this one doesn’t.

Any suggestion?

Thank you, Andrei and Cat Reader. I agree with both of you though I’m glad that Nirmal showed how it can be done. Also, if someone is web browsing on the Kindle (and can stand that ‘speed’ — I am patient when things are free), one can open a small pdf that way to read it but I wouldn’t want to do it for a large file and I’m very sensitive about overusing the whispernet since I love the access to the Net when I’m away from my computers.

Me, I’d just hook the Kindle up to my pc as an extra drive and download to the Kindle that way via the cable connection I pay for.

@CatReader Totally, I uninstalled soon after running the tests to see if it all worked.

I know this blog is for Kindle, but I’m wondering if anyone has tried this troublesome PDF file on the Sony Reader? I want to buy either a Kindle DX or Sony Reader since both allow you to view PDF files. The Sony Reader is more appealing because of cost. So, can anyone tell me of their experiences with both of these readers?

I am glad that both the writer of the article and Nirmal recommend using the hack minimally. I probably won’t use it at all because I value the free access to the Internet through Whispernet and want to avoid paying for it as long as possible. Even so, I am grateful to both people for sharing the knowledge.

it would be easier (and more reliable) for amazon to implment blocks of downloading pdf’s in their web proxies than to go to all the effort of trying to lock down the kindle updates.

the obvious counter to that would be to download via https, but most places that you would download pdfs from don’t use https, so I doubt if that would result in a real problem

For Kindle 2 there is Savory. As for K1 I don’t think there is anything – sure you can mod the browser easy enough to download PDFs but since there is no native support – it would be quite useless.

I’ve uninstalled the mod at the moment. It was more of an experiment than an end goal.

Is there such a hack for the first Kindle?
