Hi sailors,
I'm trying to get into the habit of reading but books are often expensive and cumbersome.
However I don't particularly like reading on my phone screen since I'll get distracted eventually.
So, e-readers seems to me a perfect fit. It's tech enough that I find it interesting. Not too expensive. Gorgeous paper white display.
So, essentially what I want to know is, which kindle (or other device) is best for cracking/exploiting/moding, and overall just your opinion on it.
Edit3: I've decided I'll buy a paperwhite kindle (2020 version). I found a 2nd hand one, like new, for 80€ with a screen protector + magnetic cover.
This way I'm still not supporting amazon :)
Edit 2: I'm from the EU 🇪🇺 so, if you have EU specific tips it'd be great.
Also my country doesn't really care about piracy so I'm not really worried about VPNs
Edit: I didn't expect so many people to reply! Thanks everyone!
Also I don't remember writing half of the things on this post? Might just install a monoxide detector...
If some admin edited it, thanks. It's a lot clearer now, probably why it got so much traction.
After initially setting up your kindle, just keep it in airplane mode. Upload new books with calibre
Do you do it for privacy or just so that new updates don't break it?
Personally, I did it just to save battery. But recently I made the mistake to connect and it updated to an interface that I don’t like and the battery that was bad (it’s 7 years old) seems to be worst.
