Once a week we round up some of the great reader tips that come our way and share them with everyone. Today we’re looking at using the Kindle as a screen for the Raspberry Pi, custom iPod control modules, and an easy way to play the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Kindle as Raspberry Pi Monitor
Ken writes in with the following tip that combines hacking Kindles and Raspberry Pi units:
If you end up building a micro-computer around the house with an e-ink display, weather station or otherwise, we’d love to hear about it (so make sure to write back in). Thanks Ken!

Maybe if you quietly check your smartphone under the table at the pub you could win yourself a pint or two.
