Kindle Paperwhite as KIP Cockpit Display
#2
I can't remember if I tried. I can - but it may be this weekend before I can get out to the boat.

It is nice that the new Paperwhite is waterproof.

I use a modified version of the iKommunicate kindle app. Sure would be nice to have a graphical wind display.

I have a screen set up with Heading and Speed over Ground on a race boat I crew for. The captain and the tactician are satisfied with the speed in which it updates. It's a great little display.

In any case there are a couple of tricks you need to know to stop the screen saving mode from kicking in and to allow it to stay connected to a wifi access point that has no internet access. They are elsewhere on the forum, search Kindle.
