  "summary": "An unofficial project called Kindshare allows jailbroken Kindle devices to receive files via Quick Share from an Android phone. According to Android Authority, this open-source project was created by developer unrealJune and lets the Kindle appear as a destination in Quick Share for wireless file transfer. However, the Kindle cannot send files back.\n\nThe process of setting up Kindshare is fairly technical and compatibility may depend on the Kindle model and firmware version. Android Authority reports that Quick Share was made compatible with Apple's AirDrop last year, and now it has reached another unexpected device, the Kindle.\n\nKindshare only enables receiving files on the Kindle, not sending them. No other details about the project or its limitations are available from the reports.",
