Hey /g/, 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?

i use my jailbroken Kindle to read epubs too.

They don't send to Whatyoufuckingcallithuania.
Oh well.
>>
>>58301413
>and add fonts.
you can add fonts without jailbreaking it.
>>
>>58302363
It's ~$170 on ebay, I just ordered one.
>>
>>58301413
Why? Because overcomplicating everything is in /g/ domain. Instead of enjoying their books people prefer to find endlessly for close to no benefit while sacrificing a lot.
>>
>>58301413
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.
>>
>>58302458
>Use a better pdf reader
So, there is one built in? But it doesn't render as good or what?
>>
>>58302285
Calibre is nice but I like to skip the conversion step and have the same files on all of my devices.
>>
>>58302323
Can you not read manga on regular Kindle or Paperwhite?
>>
>>58302618
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).
>>
>>58302652
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.
>>
>>58302677
>>58302753

Okay. So:
Fonts
Screensaver
PDF reader.
Additional format support.
Anything else of note?
>>
>>58302395
Just search for the 32GB version or what?

>>58302753
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.

>>
>>58303176
How does turning backlight off works?
Also, epubs are somehow better with this actual support or just saves you the trouble with converting?
>>
>>58303281
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.

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?)
