Hey Sup Forums, WHY do people jailbreak Kindle?
I can understand doing it on IPhone/Android to get root access and remove shit you don't want, but all the reasons for jailbreaking a Kindle is to change screensaver and add fonts.
Am I missing something?

you can add fonts without jailbreaking it.
Luis Thompson
It's ~$170 on ebay, I just ordered one.
Levi Williams
Why? Because overcomplicating everything is in Sup Forums domain. Instead of enjoying their books people prefer to find endlessly for close to no benefit while sacrificing a lot.

With my jailbroken Kindle Goyage I can:
- Display detailed battery info
- Use covers or any picture as screensaver
- Use a better pdf reader
- Eventually hack together a VNC enabled eink monitor.

>Use a better pdf reader
So, there is one built in? But it doesn't render as good or what?
Asher Perez
Calibre is nice but I like to skip the conversion step and have the same files on all of my devices.
Grayson Perry
Can you not read manga on regular Kindle or Paperwhite?
Isaiah Stewart
Yeah, the built in one is functional but there is a better one (I think based on an opensource project for a Kobo pdf reader).
Matthew Myers
it's slow AF and you have to use kindlecomicconverter or something else. This supports CBZ natively and is optimized for archives and PDF, and also has the fast scroll feature with exrta storage and a better indexing system.
Also, it's interface defaults ot wapanese but you can change it to english.
Hunter Adams
Okay. So:
Fonts
Screensaver
PDF reader.
Additional format support.
Anything else of note?
Xavier Hughes
Just search for the 32GB version or what?

Levi Lewis
Not according to this.
>In October 2016, Amazon released the Paperwhite 3 "Manga Model" in Japan with 32GB of storage (no other changes), which is space for up to 700 manga books.

>actual epub support
Eli Perry
How does turning backlight off works?
Also, epubs are somehow better with this actual support or just saves you the trouble with converting?
Jayden Bailey
If I know correctly, cuts the voltage to backlight.
Saves you the trouble of converting.

Pažįstamas turi Kindlą kažkokį. Galiu paklaust, iš kur pirko, jei reikia, bet greičiausiai, kad iš eBayaus.
Christopher Gray
Why bother?
Just buy something else and pirate everything you need without the extra hassle.
Buy books from author's you want to support; fuck the rest that is shitty pulp (and why would you waste time on that anyway?)
