Are there any “hacks” for the Kindle?

Are there any "hacks" which have been discovered for the Kindle? Similar to how the PSP has numerous unofficial firmware replacements which allow for new/improved features, homebrew apps, etc, and iOS devices can be jailbroken for unofficial apps.

Does such a thing exist for the Kindle?

The OpenInkpot project is working on a Kindle DX port of their open-source e-reader operating system, but it's still at the black triangle stage (we're waiting for pictures of the first graphics on-screen.) If everything goes according to plan, the port will be released around late August.
