Jailbroken Kindles can be repurposed in theory, as they run Linux, but Debian is doubtful. They run Amazon's code, not Android. The Kindle 3, still available, has a limited keyboard, and I suppose you could hack a real USB keyboard onto it with some kind of black box, but it would be a hobby, a labor of love, not anything useful. You can ssh into a Kindle, but that would not be answering your question. Using the radio is a big, fat VERBOTEN.
