I want to port the Frotz z-machine interpreter to the Amazon Kindle. Is this even possible? [closed]

I want to be able to play works of interactive fiction on an Amazon Kindle 2. In order to do this, I would need to port the Frotz interpreter to the Kindle. So far, I have not been able to find anywhere that Kindle application development is discussed. Does such a thing exist? Where can I find more information?

There's already a web app. Does the kindle support javascript? If so this might be worth a try: http://parchment.toolness.com/

Yes the KDK allows for apps like this, you just have to write it in Java (1.4) but other than that you are free to do this (and it would be a cool use of the KDK, you should apply to the beta program)
