Could you build this?
Partial The Zotero API sync and library and highlight logic are vibe-codeable, but rendering a native reader on jailbroken Kindle hardware requires niche embedded toolchains and device-specific work.
What it would actually take: A real version would use the Zotero Web API for library and highlight sync, plus an EPUB and PDF rendering engine cross-compiled for the Kindle's ARM-based Linux environment, possibly using KOReader or the KUAL framework as a reference. The hard parts are the Kindle's limited hardware, its e-ink refresh model, and the device-specific framework, all of which need embedded Linux and e-reader development experience.
