Why jailbreak? Just use internal kindle browser to stream screenshots of your desktop.

That would indeed be much simpler! I'm skeptical that the browser is powerful enough to handle a usable frame rate since every frame would have to go from the network -> DOM -> browser app memory -> frame buffer. The browser can barely keep up with the Kindle store / Goodreads, but it'd be nice to be proven otherwise since it'd make it much easier to get this working ootb on brand new Kindles.
i had similar idea to turn kindle to second monitor
