After some debating, I decided to post this here and not on a different forum. I read that you could install Linux onto a kindle 4, so I was wondering if it were possible to install Windows 95 onto there as well. I know the answer is probably no, and that the Linux doesn't run well, but I was wondering if it were possible. Amazon ended all support for this ereader this year so I really don't have another use for it.

 

P.S. Even if it runs terribly on this ereader, I will take that as a win. Close enough is good enough.

Windows 95 doesn't have ARM support.
