After the feature of being able to send EPUB files to Kindle through email and them being automatically converted... I have not felt I was missing anything by using standard Kindle software.

So I'd suggest, unless you really really need some obscure feature, Calibre+Kindle is nowadays perfectly fine, and maybe you shouldn't risk bricking your device.

There are no ads on my Kindle.

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.

That's cool. I may keep an eye out for old Kindles in thrift stores and whatnot. With the advent of android tablets that just have e paper displays, I probably will try those before buying another kindle.

Does it let me put Linux on it?

Anyone know how to set custom screen idle images after doing this? I've been wanting to put 'Don't Panic' on my 6th gen paperwhite since I got it but it's so locked down that wasn't possible.

Custom sleep picture is one of the features of KOReader. Pretty easy to spot it in the settings.

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

Is there a way to change the Library to be able to see epub files? I have KOReader installed now, but I have to go through the directory to find my epub files.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You can set a specific folder as the "home" folder on koreader by long pressing the folder where your files are located. I put all my epubs in there with moisaic viewing style.
