Kindle Screen as Informational Display (weather, unread emails, calendar)
- by coder543
I'm looking to create a type of homepage for my kindle like you might expect to see upon waking up (though realistically, I plan on using it as a secondary screen throughout the day) whereupon it shows you several things dividing the screen, but not being scrollable. I just want the summary to fill the screen of the web browser.
It would show
the weather
my gmail inbox
my calendar for the day
maybe some tech news
However, as a starting question, how would I go about embedding my gmail inbox into the page? I would love to put m.gmail.com into an iframe restricted to a certain portion of the screen, but I know that won't likely be happening.
Any ideas on how to embed an email summary or the calendar? (both served by Google)
I've got the weather part working via AccuWeather's embed-able widget.
