F**k Amazon, part 2
(lemmy.world)
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.
I was able to just install F-droid and from there get Obtainium to import my usual apps, including Librera which I prefer over KoReader. No jailbreak necessary.
However... I do eventually wanna jailbreak it and get Amazon's presence off there entirely if I can. Thanks for the references, for when I get there.
Just letting the more non-techy people know that you can get FOSS apps like KoReader without having to go all the way, so to speak.
Have you instructions?
I'm guessing Kindle Fire, an Android tablet.
I'd love to put Android apps on my Paperwhite tho.
Oh, yeah, it is a Kindle Fire. I never got into e-ink.
