+title: Use your Kindle as VNC viewer
+---
+
+I could mod my Kindle so I can now use it as screen for the RaspberryPi.
+
+This is what I did with my Kindle 4 NT:
+
+1. [Jailbreak](http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle4NTHacking#Jailbreak)
+2. [Install USBNetwork](http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle4NTHacking#SSH)
+3. [Get KindleVNC viewer](http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150434)
+4. Connect your Kindle via USB to a GNU/Linux computer. ssh into it like so (the root password doesn't exist, you can type in anything):
+`sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.15.2` `ssh root@192.168.15.244`
+5. Start the vnc viewer with `/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh 192.168.15.2:0 &`
+6. Here is a script to autostart the viewer:
+
+``` bash
+sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.15.2
+sudo x11vnc -scale 800x600 -display :0 &
+sleep 8
+sshpass -p asdf ssh root@192.168.15.244 /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh 192.168.15.2:0 &
+```
+
+Do not forget to enable USBNetworking, otherwise it won't work. You can do so with [KUAL](http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203326).
