Here is a list of how to get you started to use the applications and hacks listed on this page. There are a few ways of hacking your device, from non intrusive file manipulation, to jail breaking your device to usb networking into the device. In short the Kindle is a small computer running a Linux 2.6 on an ARM processor, which makes the device easily hackable. That should be fairly straightforward once you've taken a peek at our handy S/N table :).

The first thing you should start with is positively identifying your exact Kindle model. (This section is a work in progress on the main step of hacking the Kindle as a general overview, it applies mainly to Kindle 3 but some of these part will work with earlier version).
