Unfortunately, when I downloaded a test chapter for the Kindle, the text was garbled.

The fix? Click here. If you were able to install CyanogenMod on your phone, this fix should be well within your abilities.

Summary of the fix:

1. Download the appropriate .zip file to your phone’s SD card. (I’m using an HTC Dream (aka G1 aka Developer Phone) so I used the DS version.)
2. Reboot the phone, holding down the “Home” key. This should bring you to “Android System Recovery.
3. Select “Flash zip from sdcard.”
4. Select the .zip file you downloaded.
5. Press the “Home” key to confirm
6. Select “Reboot system now.”

Good luck and happy reading!

Part One: Internet Sharing

This article was helpful, though I had to combine the main instructions with something suggested in the comments.

On the iMac:

1. System Preferences->Sharing.
2. Click on “Internet Sharing.”
3. In the pull-down menu, “Share your connection from” Ethernet.
4. “To computers using” AirPort.
5. Channel: Automatic.
6. Enable encryption.
7. Select a 5-digit password. (Important for getting this to work with Ubuntu.)
8. WEP Key Length should be “40-bit.”
9. OK.
10. Make sure the box next to “Internet Sharing” is checked.

    Now the Mac laptop should be able to join the wireless network.

    Log on to your Ubuntu laptop and we’ll configure the connection there.

11. Right-click the network icon.
12. Edit Connections->Wireless.
13. Select the new wifi network and click Edit.
14. Under “Wireless Security”, change “Authentication” to “Shared Key.”
15. Save the changes.

Part Two: Roku configuration

These instructions were very helpful.

On the iMac:

1. System Preferences->Sharing.
2. Make sure the box is checked next to “Internet Sharing.”
3. Applications->Utilities->Terminal.
4. In the Terminal, enter this command: sudo cp /etc/bootpd.plist /etc/bootpd.plist.roku

   (It will ask for your password.)

5. Now stop Internet Sharing by un-checking the box.
6. sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit /etc/bootpd.list.roku
7. TextEdit will launch. Near the end of the text file, you’ll see this:

   <key>reply_threshold_seconds</key>
<integer>4</integer>

8. Change “4″ to “0″.
9. In TextEdit, File->Save. You can close TextEdit.
10. In Terminal: sudo cp /etc/bootpd.list.roku /etc/bootpd.list
11. Check the box next to “Internet Sharing” again.

You should now be able to connect your Roku to this new wifi network. You can double-check that your editing worked by, in Terminal, entering more /etc/bootpd.list and looking to see that “reply_threshold_seconds” is still set to “0″.
