Don't throw away your Kindle, Jailbreak it and take back ownership. Make your Kindle even better with KoReader and other apps. If you wanna see whats possible i recomment this Yt video. If you wanna get started here are all instructions: https://kindlemodding.org/ Don't let it scare you it seems complicated but its just a lot of (easy) steps. So definitely possible in <2h.

You're installing a launcher, KAUL, where you can do the "stuff". It's better than nothing. I would love to see actual custom ROMs to remove the whole Kindle OS.

It is better than nothing but it feels like an app not a jailbreak

While i agree with you that a custom os would be really nice, i think the term jailbreak is appropriate since jailbreaking other things like an iphone is also for installing other software not from the manufacturer. But I'm no expert...

Then maybe I’m wrong! :) I was just surprised after doing it that it’s just a launcher
