Oasis

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

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

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

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

Out of curiosity, which firmware is your PW on and when did you last try it? (And specifically, was it a file newly downloaded from Amazon or one that was already on the Kindle, downloaded from Amazon to the Kindle earlier?) I’m asking as it’s a very recent development with Kindles released between

I don't know what happened, but I think a year ago, all my downloaded books suddenly got deleted (Kindle Oasis). It was a huge pain to restore, but I was more surprised that it could have happened in the first place. Looking around, it happened to a couple of people on the calibre forums, though I d

lol. yeah, I'm worried about my 10th gen Oasis 3 on 5.18.2 and 11th gen PW5 which is jailbroken and ota updates disabled on 5.18.3. I haven't tried either one since last week, but they were working then. I wonder how much the k4pc will really change? I mean, yes, it will be an appstore app or whatev

i ran into this exact choice last month. for dictionary lookups Kobo wins hands down - you can install custom dictionaries and it handles multiple languages smoothly. Kindle Oasis is fine but more locked down. PDFs on both are meh but Kobo handles sideloading better without jailbreak. the screen on

I need to catch up, please. I have three Oases and a Kindle keyboard. for centuries, I copied my books from the keyboard over to my PC and from there into Calibre, so I haven't looked at deDRM for some time now. I take it from this that Amazon is also making life more difficult again for the remaini

Yes it IS misinformation. Just because it feels bricked to you doesn't mean it is. If it was bricked, no one would be even able to read their books or turn on Kindle. Yes, I know the news sucks, and I'll be sad when my 2019 Oasis won't get support anymore someday. But this is something many technolo
