Kindle Touch jail broken via ID3 Tag

It's an exploit and it will get fixed, but I'd like to see what people can do with root access. Will we see vanilla Android ports?

Kindle Touch doesn't run Android. You are thinking of the Fire.

Oh boy, you're right. I replaced the word "Touch" with "Fire" in my mind while reading the article and didn't notice even once. My apologies.

All of the previous kindles have been rooted and I don't know of any homebrew to support epub on Kindle 3.

On the e-ink screen? I don't think that will turn out too well.

That's exactly what the Nook Touch is, though: Android 2.1 on an e-ink screen.
