“Digging into the code that Amazon is now making
available, provides some really interesting insight into the
underlying structure of the Kindle.“For one, Kindle (at least the DX) is using a modified Linux
2.6.22 kernel. This is a kernel that originally was released by
Linus Torvalds in 2007. Is it a surprise that the Kindle is Linux
powered? (not really).”
