Hack This: Amazon Shares Kindle Source Code

By Sudarshana Banerjee

Amazon is letting developers download an archive file of machine readable source code for Kindle.

The source code is available in accordance with certain free and open source software licenses. Now, go, hack. Here is the Amazon link that will lead you to the downloads.
