  "account": "An unofficial project called Kindshare has enabled Quick Share receiving on jailbroken Kindle devices, according to a report by Hackaday. Developer unrealJune created the open-source project, which allows users to send files from an Android phone to the Kindle wirelessly. However, the Kindle cannot currently send files back to the Android device. Quick Share, a feature made compatible with Apple’s AirDrop last year, has now seemingly reached Kindles as well. Compatibility may depend on the Kindle model and firmware version, making the process technical and potentially limiting for some users.",
