The more modern Kindle devices don&#x27;t have a physical keyboard (I&#x27;ve tried typing on my wife&#x27;s Kindle Paperwhite, it&#x27;s not a pleasant experience) and are harder to mod. What you&#x27;re looking for is a Kindle 2 or Kindle 3 (AKA &quot;Kindle Keyboard&quot;) which can boot a light version of Ubuntu[1], or you can just add a SSH client to the existing Kindle software[2]. Get the 3G version and you have a SSH client that works practically anywhere.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gadgets.boingboing.net&#x2F;2009&#x2F;09&#x2F;02&#x2F;photo-and-descriptio.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gadgets.boingboing.net&#x2F;2009&#x2F;09&#x2F;02&#x2F;photo-and-descripti...</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mobileread.com&#x2F;forums&#x2F;showthread.php?p=1220552" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mobileread.com&#x2F;forums&#x2F;showthread.php?p=1220552</a>
