My Kindle is an ad filled wasteland and I regret buying it.
Doesn't work on newer kindles. I left my beloved kindle paperwhite on a plane and had to buy a new one; it now needs to connect to wifi periodically for you to continue reading, which defeats the whole purpose of having a kindle when it does it while you're on a bus or something.

I went from a 3rd generation kindle to a paperwhite, which i hate. I think the summary is spot on.

Why is my Xteink faster than every other reader?
Why the hell is this device faster than both the Palma Pro 2 I tried AND my Kindle Paperwhite? Probably because it currently doesn't have hardware resources to spare on nonsense. In my years consulting on IT product development, I've seen the same story replayed endlessly: the first MVP (minimum via

Getting my GF a Kindle for Christmas
So i'm considering getting my gf a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas. ... Any advice is appreciated. Don't buy a Kindle. I was an early Kindle owner and while the hardware is good, the user experience has done nothing but get worse every single update. Furthermore, the Kindle store has continually mad

My Amazon TV now unmutes itself during Prime Video commercial breaks
I download the book and upload it to my Kindle over USB with Calibre. The download option is a little hidden, for obvious reasons, but if you poke around on your order page you can find it. My Kindle has never left airplane mode and never known an internet connection and it's going to stay that way.

it's the end of an era
Also this other user x came up with a eink friendly website (rekindle.ink) that allows, among many other tools, to use libby on kindle. It also has a legacy version for older models (legacy.rekindle.ink), but unfortunately for me neither work on my paperwhite, others say it's great, though, so idk,

Amazon's closing yet another Kindle loophole to back up your purchased e-books
I bought one $0.99 ebook from Amazon last year. It’s in Calibre. I’ll never buy another and I’m unlikely to replace my previous generation 6.8” Paperwhite with an Amazon product.

Failure to remove drm and all books are KFX ZIP
Coloursoft is too new. Won't work. And no guarantees an exploit will be found anytime soon. Any devices running firmware 5.18.5 and newer don't work so far. That includes 11th gen and 12th gen and Scribe and Coloursoft. Getting an older kindle is rough. As of May 20th, the oldest models that have wo

DeDRM and recent Kindle Books
I have a PaperWhite 2021. Until 5.18.6 I could export. Now I use an older Kindle (2012) to export
