Genuine question, why is that useful?

Hi!

I want to get more into reading but books can be expensive and bulky.

I thought I'd buy a Kindle (or similar) since those screens are pleasant to read on, but I don't know if there's anything specific I should be looking for piracy wise.

Apparently amazon has added support for epubs so I'm hoping it'll make it easier to load with my own downloaded books?

Also, the version names/models of kindles are crap.

Edit2: 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: I seem to have posted this same/similar question yesterday but I have no recollection of doing so. If this is something you're interested have a look at that post.

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.

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.

Never seen that website before but lost myself reading random pastas there for a while.

Thanks!

Is there a "lostlemmings" ?

Hope one day we have the tech to at least partially restore his sight... For hands we kindof have prosthetics but losing eyesight AND your arms... The least brave Ukrainian is braver than I'll ever be.
