And install koreader
oh? Does that work for the other devices too? I dont like the default reader, doesn't do anything about margins.
Koreader is multi reqders and platform. I have it on my android phone and my kobo. You have tons of customisations, including margins. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube on how to install it on any device. Beware, it has lots of customisations, but a lot of support online. It took me a couple of days of reading to find and fine tune all the settings to my desired experience. My next step is to configure cross-devices sync for the progress on my books between my referee and phone since Kobo doesn't allow you to do that by default with..ahem…"sideloaded" books
Does this allow you to installed libby?
Sorry, no idea, I'm mainly a kobo person
Make sure you don't autoupdate though as the latest firmware blocked it but I believe they are close to releasing updated jailbreak.
It has been patched recently in 5.18.1 - so best to jailbreak fresh out do the box if it is of interest.
As others have mentioned, firmware 5.18.1 cannot be jail broken at this stage.
On first boot, skip setting up the WiFi. Then follow the winter break instructions, and finish with disable OTA updates or leaving it on airplane mode.
Details on how?
$295 on TGG commercial 🤔
TGG is usually srp, unless there's an actual deal
Get a Kobo colour
Has there been a Kobo sale lately, i am interested on the Kobo because of the sideloading.
Kindle also lets you sideload.
Calibre send to email or jailbreak
why jailbreak if you can use calibre?
@fredblogs: just went through the jailbreak myself. honestly, wasn't worth it. preferred the stock gui and easy enough to transfer books with calibre on stock
@belongsinforums: Can access calibre librwry or manga wirelessly
Koreader takes a bit of getting used to but its much more customisable than stock reader
@fredblogs: Lets you customise a lot of things and allows for wireless transfer of ebooks with calibre and drag and drop with windows explorer. Can even get it to run gameboy pokemon games.
Not many sales, and sadly, barely any second hand ones in marketplace
why Kobo over a kindle (or jailbroken kindle)?
only good reason i can think of is they don't want to support amazon, which is fair
Libby/overdrive let's you borrow ebooks from the library.
oh, didn't realise you can't borrow ebooks with a kindle
and calibre + dedrm lets you keep them. (can I say that here?)
Thanks, been waiting for a deal like this since my old kindle 4th gen stopped working.
Feels like kindles are getting more expensive? Any new features? My 4th gen is still alive.
If anything they are getting less features as the DRM is more restrictive now than when you bought your 4th gen
Can this $237 used at Officeworks for price beat, like price beat a price beat?
I’ve got some officeworks gift cards to spend before end of May :(
Does this version have ads?
The one i bought from last deal here didnt specify if it had ads or not, Happily it doesnt have any, but im not sure how you tell up front.
Afaik the ads are an American thing and we don’t have them on Kindles here (so far)
Had an original Kindle a long time ago and then Kobo’s after that. Got the new Kindle recently.
Im liking the Kindle UI now, its really slick and the device doesnt crash like my Kobo’s (admittedly they a few years old now).epub is now easy to load via calibre
Did Amazon re-allow sending files via email to kindles?
You can jailbreak these quite easily which is a plus
