KWebBrew
Getting cool stuff to "run" without jailbreaking

![]()
KWebBrew is a launcher bundled with a useful SDK (file system reading to an extent and some useful functions) and a pollyfill allowing you to use features from ES6 Browsers in your homebrew
Due to its nature, it does not require a jailbreak to work, however, it also can't run arbritary code directly on the Kindle
KWebBrew uses a manifest format which means that apps can have fancy icons (as shown)
Currently there are two apps available for it, KChess (a work-in-progress 2-player chess game for the Kindle) and sudoku (ported to KWebBrew from https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=4276488)
How To Install
Installing it is really easy, simply download the latest release zip from here:
https://github.com/Bluebotlaboratori...eleases/latest
and extract it to the root of your Kindle's OTG file system so that along with your
documents and audible folders, you also have a kwebbrew and apps folder
How To Use
KWebBrew automatically installs a browser extension for itself when copying the `.active_content_sandbox` folder, simply select this bookmark and it will open KWebBrew
KWebBrew also doesn't require an internet connection to function, simply open it and select an app
