Kindle Typewriter

Roni Bandini shares how they turned a jailbroken Kindle into a neat typewriter. Check out how they did it on hackster.io

The Kindle docks into an enclosure that integrates a thermal printer. Both the Kindle and the Raspberry Pi connect to the same WiFi network.

Text is typed on a custom Kindle application. When two line breaks are entered, the buffered text is sent over HTTP and printed. The system handles line width to avoid breaking words, and also stores previously printed texts.
