If so how, and if not will it ever be?

I can't stand this keyboard! I'd root just for Swype!

Did you check with our master index, and find e.g. the question for Kindle Fire there? Besides: Since when do you need to root for Swype? It installed fine on my Cat Stargate II (running 4.1.1 and not being rooted). – Izzy Jan 25 at 7:41
Thank you but I believe on the kindle, at least on the older version I've messed with, you could move the kindle file on to the kindle but I couldn't get it to work. – hortstu Jan 26 at 17:40

Astor, though I think data on XDA is quite safe from disappearing: Would you mind to include a brief extract? I will meanwhile link this question to our rooting master index to draw attention here :) – Izzy Jan 31 at 15:07
@Izzy sorry, but I don't have Kindle Fire HD to do this. – ArtemStorozhuk Jan 31 at 16:31
What? XDA can only be viewed with a Kindle Fire HD? =:-0 Shocking news! Guess you misunderstood. What I meant was to describe the basic steps the linked XDA article uses, to give a raw idea of what is expected to be done. The article is not that long, so it's doable ;) – Izzy Jan 31 at 16:43
@Izzy Let me explain you a bit. I called such process blind writing. Mathematician can't write biological article without biological experience. He (or she) can read thousands of articles but there will be a lot of mistakes in the result article and other biologists will criticize such article. I hope you got the idea. I don't want to create such tutorial because there could be mistakes and other people who are going to root their KF HD may break their device. – ArtemStorozhuk Jan 31 at 16:56

Understood -- and that's a good attitude. However, I didn't say "replace the link", but "In summary, with my own word as to my best understanding, this article says: ... I didn't try this myself, so for details, better head over to XDA." So you have the disclaimer in, people here get some idea what to expect, and everybody is fine. -- But don't let's discuss these details here; you're welcome to our chat for topics like this (and others as well, of course ;) – Izzy Jan 31 at 19:22
