Let's add a section discussing some user modifications
Many of us have jailbroken or hacked our kindles for things like:
- more fonts
- different screensavers
- faster page loads
How about a section on this? It is a valid part of the kindle experience.
See here for more info on what can be done: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88004 —Preceding unsigned comment added by RedHab (talk • contribs) 10:54, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, that's interesting Aquib (talk) 13:22, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Section for additional capabilities?
Each Kindle model has capabilities beyond book reading that are significant to note, especially when you group them together and see the evolution of the device. For example, the Kindle 1 had (unsupported) GPS and SD cards, while the Kindle 3 sports a full web browser, mp3 player, and an (as-yet-unsupported) microphone.

Kindle Development Kit
This section talks in the future tense about events planned for February 2010. Did these events eventually occur? Leonard of Vince (talk) 04:26, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Privacy, rights concerns
Amazon gathers a lot of information from users Kindles, such as your location, and what you are reading http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51371. Perhaps we should have a section about this. And perhaps remote content removal could be included (it is currently in the Business model section), as the core issue is your rights/privacy not how it effects Amazons business model.

Environmental impact
It would be interesting to add info about the environmental benefits of using Kindle over printed books and magazines. There is a preliminary report from Cleantech Group that is disputed. This article seems to have interesting facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.125.135.199 (talk) 10:11, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Book template?
Should this or any other ebook reader have the book template? I think so, but perhaps other editors will think differently. --DThomsen8 (talk) 16:43, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
