You can replace Wikipedia on your Kindle without modifying any firmware or software on the device. Here's how it works:

1. Host an API which conforms to the Wikipedia search and document conventions (this can be LLM-powered) 2. Modify your router's DNS settings specifically for your Kindle so that it resolves wikipedia.org to your API's CNAME or IP address 3. You can now use "Wikipedia" to perform arbitrary operations on highlighted text. As a bonus, you can manage your API from your Kindle's built-in browser (assuming you've built out a management UI)

So you are saying Kindle doesn't have end to end encryption.
