Giving me something to do with my current kindle. I wasn't sure how to load to it my downloaded books, so I've been suffering on my phone, but hopefully this helps me out a bunch. Thanks. This is a rabbit hole I never knew existed.

Can this make Overdrive/Libby integration easier? Thats really the main thing pissing me off about Kindles.

Omg this is so exciting, I love jailbreaking devices and jailbreaking my mom's old ass kindle was oddly tricky.

What for? Cuz loading pirated books is trivial?

Isn't a cracked (old, I think?) Kindle the only way to pirate KU/DRM titles? At least, that's what I recall from the last time I looked into it. There's a book I really wanted to format shift from KU since Google TTS was fucking up all the proper nouns, but I gave up. (It was an obscure book that isn't available anywhere pirated.)

Ah I wouldn't know about THAT. I just download and convert epubs from the likes of z-library/libgen, and have done so since getting my first Kindle circa 2012

Well for one, koreader is awesome.

It has preferences I like, syncs reading position to anything else running koreader, and syncs my current reading queue from Dropbox.

Kill ads on the cheaper one would be my main if not only use case.

Installing an alternative reader that can read other formats is mentioned a few times, but honestly, with Calibre that became a non-issue decades ago. Need to transfer them via cable anyway, converting in the process takes a few seconds at most.
