Hobby Ideas for Chronic Migraine
Audiobooks and podcasts - and depending on your symptoms it might be worth it to get an ereader. Some of them are front lit. That is, back lighting is lights facing you, front lighting is lights inside the device facing AWAY from you. So I have a kindle oasis I have had nearly 10 years now? Front li

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry
I keep it on airplane mode all the time, which is what annoys me. I've also jailbroken it, following all steps to ensure no updates occur. It's a Kindle Oasis. Still, it reverted the process overnight despite no update being pushed. I had to factory reset it. Right now, I'm waiting for a brand new X

Can Books Bought On Amazon Be transferred to Kobo with Ease?
I can still save the eBooks i bought on amazon via my Oasis / USB/ Calibre, so far the Files are stored as KFX on the Oasis and not KFX-Zip, so Conversion to ePub/PDF is still possible. Not possible on newer devices i fear.

Why get Kindle when Kobo exists
I own three kindles (very old paperwhite, refurbished oasis, and 2023 basic) and I got a kobo libra color this past Christmas. I doubt I’ll ever buy another kindle, for a variety of reasons— not the least of which being the fact you don’t have to jailbreak a kobo to use KOreader. The original reason

Convince me - Go7
I read a LOT, and I recently bought a Go7 b/w to replace my aging Nova Air. Before the Nova Air, my readers were usually Kindle models, including my favorite, the Oasis. I did a lot of product comparisons before settling on the Go7. I like it because the form factor is very close to my old Oasis. Bu

What made you choose PocketBook over Kindle?
Really I wanted the ability to easily read a book I purchased outside of Amazon. Kindle made that EXTREMELY difficult. Most of the time the send to kindle was broken and just gave errors. It was so frustrating. My Oasis was a good device from a build and tech standpoint, but if it cannot read my own

Shopping for an e-reader with: physical buttons, Kindle access, and a color screen.
I did this research for myself (kindle oasis still functioning so havent bought yet) and I think Boox is the best option. There are some Chinese brands that also use an open android system, which is what you need for the kindle app, but if you buy Boox from a regular retailer you get their return po

Ereader purchase
10th gen Paperwhite - during Covid so couldn't get physical books. I had a Kindle keyboard but it was still attached to my mom's Amazon account and didn't want to turn the wifi off to put it on mine. Oasis - this one was super unnecessary. I just wanted to test it out and see what the fuss was. 12th

Oasis 9th Gen, Firmware 5.16.2.1.1 - cannot convert?
I had the same issue. With tons of tinkering, and going by the kindle modding wiki’s guide with a bit of troubleshooting from Claude, I was able to downgrade my oasis 9th gen software to 5.14. In theory, I should be able to pull books off of it with the downgrade firmware, but I need to “lock in” th

[Update] Simple UI v1.4.5: Tag browsing, Grid Folders, New Gestures and UI Modules
I had the same probrem where the correct reading module wouldn't show up after the update from 1.4.0 to 1.4.5 on my Kindle Oasis 3 (I also have multiple plugins). Unfortunately, I had already deleted the old folder of Simple UI so, to try the proposed solution, I had to download 1.4.0 from github, u
