The Kindle runs Java ME so I'm guessing a CDC implementation with some proprietary extensions.

And that will probably mean that you cannot run software you wrote on a piece of hardware you own without paying somebody $200 a year for the privilege of a developer certificate. Oh how I hate Java ME. (Well, technically you can run anything on Java ME if you don't mind answering a security dialog every five seconds. Like every time your app tries to save a backup or changes to a new directory in a file selection dialog.)

ah, thanks. for those (like me) that don't know what cdc is, it's "the more capable configuration" of JavaME - see http://java.sun.com/javame/technology/ and http://java.sun.com/javame/technology/cdc/
