My unused Kindle
I wanted to create a custom app for my Kindle controlled by an AI agent on my MacBook.
Project KindleCTL
We built a photo slideshow app that cycles through ten photos, showing each for four minutes.
GPT-5.6 Sol attempt
GPT-5.6 Sol wrote code to connect to the Kindle but couldn't store data due to filesystem errors.
Fable 5.1 and Opus 5.5 blocked
Anthropic's cybersecurity safeguards blocked Fable 5.1 and Opus 5.5 after two prompts each.
GPT-6 Astra jailbreak
GPT-6 Astra with high reasoning effort successfully jailbroke the Kindle using existing open-source tools.
Feedback loop created
The agent set up a persistent diagnostic connection to collect errors and test fixes without screenshots.
Slideshow app works
The slideshow cycles through ten photos with clean transitions and resumes when the Kindle wakes.
Future improvements
We plan to add controls for changing slideshow timing directly on the Kindle and phone integration.
