Reverse Engineering Whispersync

$

Hi all,

Now that the new Kindle Paperwhite no longer supports Text-To-Speech, and Amazon has yet to integrate TTS into the Android app, I've been debating on attempting to reverse engineer the Whispersync protocol so that I can either:
  1. Make a draft reader for Android that does TTS and Whispersync or..
  2. Run a home-grown Whispersync server and then DNS spoof a rooted Kindle and Android phone to use it

Before I start down the road of spoofing certs and MITM'ing I wanted to check in and see if anyone has attempted this before and how it went.

If I get no response that deters me, I'll use this thread as a progress map for where I get.

Thanks,
Ben

*EDIT*
I will likely replace option A with incorporating the code into Cool Reader, an open source reader for Android that already supports TTS: http://sourceforge.net/projects/crengine/ | https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...org.coolreader
