Yeah, I setup a Kindle that relied on the experimental web browser to open a web page over HTTP (for subway updates). The reliance on wifi meant I had to charge it often but since it was on kitchen counter that was ok.

For this I am jailbreaking the Kindles and relying on the screensaver functionality to pull down an image every 3 hours (will adjust based on power usage - only need 1 update per day tbh). This should require less power than the experimental browser using a web page with Javascript to refresh.

Collectively this will be a bit more abstract (no seamless NYT front-page experience) but I think I can get creative.

I need to see if 12 Kindles with USB cables across 1 or 2 hubs, each hub powered by a removable battery-pack is safe to hang on a wall :)
