#koreader

Incredible amount of amazon telemetry and ad services when a kindle is added to the network. Luckily once you set up koreader and only need LAN for file transfers, after registering the device (unfortunately required), its as simple as blocking the device connections to WAN within the openwrt luci network traffic rules. #amazon #kindle #jailbreak #koreader #networking #adguardhome #pihole

Special day today: the home screen of my jailbroken e-reader informed me I hit a 100-day reading streak. This week's average reading time has been 42 minutes a day 🥳 I owe it all to #KOreader and #SimpleUI - somehow having visible metrics motivated me to pick up my #Kindle every day. I wrote more about it on my #GoToSocial account: https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01KR0PEJEZ00Y7506QFE60TKA3 If you are interested in doing something similar, the website https://kindlemodding.org is a phenomenal resource. #KindleJailbreak

NeoDB now works in #KOReader as a plugin. Now you can rate, comment, quote, make notes and crosspost to Mastodon/Bluesky without leaving your e-reader.

Not gonna lie, reading this passage from @pluralistic@mamot.fr’s book #TheInternetCon on a jailbroken #Kindle (running #KOreader!) felt like a deliciously affirming act of resistance 💁🏻‍♀️ #KindleJailbreak #resist #BigTech #Calibre #SimpleUI

@trezzer@social.linux.pizza Thank you, ideally website interface, iOS also acceptable, but I like the browser universe without the iOS DRM. My ideal device is my #koreader but I haven't gotten #Wallabag working - the self hosting is a hurtle. Right now I'm trying #feedly, and then maybe adding #wallabag.

👩🏻‍💻 my so-called sudo life - day 490: #KindleJailbreak edition 🆓 Regarding yesterday's post on the Kindle jailbreak: it is SO WORTH it. I hope I didn't discourage anyone by saying how much I struggled with it. Well, I had a 15 YEAR OLD device and the online tutorials didn't work with it. I finally managed to install KUAL after finding a Reddit thread that gave step-by-step advice for the Kindle 4 gen. I was really bummed that highlighting didn't work for it so I bit the bullet and got my hands on the cheapest e-reader I could find yesterday: a Kindle 11 gen with ads. Mind you, I'm in the Italian countryside at the moment and it's a miracle they had it in stock at my local superstore. I would have preferred a Kobo but it is what it is. Jailbreaking a recent Kindle is child's play. I was happy to see that it was not on the latest firmware, so it was easily jailbreakable. So: jailbreaking itinstalling a HotFix to prevent OTA updatesinstalling KUALinstalling KOreaderinstalling SimpleUIremoving adsinstalling custom transparent wallpaperstransferring books to it took a little over an hour. Easy peasy. The backlight was great at 2:30am (I was woken up by my child coughing and couldn't easily fall back asleep). Very happy that I can do highlights in KOreader and now the ultimate test is how I can transfer the highlights to my computer / Calibre. If you're on the fence, I'd say, go for it. This is the excellent guide I used: https://kindlemodding.org For inspo: look up #KOreader and #SimpleUI homepages to realize what you could do #MySoCalledSudoLife #Kindle #modding #jailbreak

👩‍💻​ My So Called Sudo Life: Jailbroken Kindle edition 📖​ If you followed my #Jailbreaking adventures this past week, I'd like to add a final chapter on the positive effect it had on my reading habits. Long story short: I used to be an avid reader and I had sadly lost the habit of reading books in the last couple of years (blaming tiredness at the end of the day). I had been looking for a system to encourage me to get back on track. When I found out about #KOreader and #SimpleUI I was totally smitten: an elegant interface that kept track of my reading stats? Sign me up! In the photo I've attached you can see my reading stats for the past week - aka since I started using KOreader and SimpleUI. If you don't want to squint / find it harder to read: my daily reading average is about 40 minutes. Not bad! I'm just absolutely delighted by this. #KindleJailbreak #reading #books #habits #MySoCalledSudoLife

I just discovered that there's actually a plugin to have an actually pretty interface on #Koreader! Here's how it looks on my #Kobo Clara 2E! But it's super customizable and has a lot of modules and ways to arrange things, enjoy!
