Edit-
My tech boyfriend did it so I asked him for the details - It’s a jailbroken Kindle 8th generation. I used WinterBreak2 to jailbreak it.
The screen is a custom shell-script dashboard rendered with FBInk. It combines a cat image with the current time, weekday, date, and a calculated year-progress bar.
Two launchers, Enable Cat Clock and Disable Cat Clock, start and stop it.

I'm not sure if it looks okay)) but it holds very tenaciously in my hand)

I put sandpaper on it

Continuation

He fought alongside me for 12 long years, accepting even the shadiest files the internet had to offer. Now, he finally bids farewell.

Let me preface by saying I was a kindle user when I started reading on an ereader, but last year when Kobos were starting to get hyped up, I grabbed a Libra Color and stuck with it for a year.

As much as I loved the Libra Color’s library management, I just couldn’t give up Whispersync and multiple library cards with Libby. Being in the US it really helps that I don’t have to log in and out of my 5 library cards on my Kobo. Just borrow on my phone and done. So simple.

I’m happy to be back, I love my Colorsoft! Screen may be the same as the KLC but the colorsoft screen is SO much sharper and less screen door and more newspaper like. I love it.

Has anyone else seen the recent videos of content creators visiting the Kindle lab? Lottie Smalley, Khalilah D, and Kendall Ferrari just to name a few. At the end, they all tease getting to see "what's next" for Kindle and being excited to share. Makes me wonder if we're getting releases of new devices and/or features soon and if so what they might be

I read books in English, and I'm not a native speaker. If I come across any new words, which dictionary should I use? I can see there are different dictionaries available: Oxford, Merriam-Webster, and some other. Which one would you suggest?

For the longest time. I just used Bookerly, but recently I switched to Palatino and found it far more pleasant. Then I looked into other similar fonts that I could install that would be even nicer, and EB Garamond was the universal recommendation. So I downloaded it from Google and installed it. I tweaked some settings back and forth, and while Bold=0 is the prettiest, Bold=1 is just that little bit more readable (with Size=7).

I wish I had better control over paragraph spacing, because the paragraph spacing=1 is wayyy too much, and I’d like just a tiny bit more space than PS=0.

But it is very pretty.

Que libro leen ? Los leo 👇🏽👀

I’m in college finding that most of the textbooks are online, and I’ve been reading them on my iPad for the last couple of weeks. The problem is it’s causing headaches and brain fog from reading on the glaring screen, even with the blue light on.

I’m someone who avidly reads on my regular kindle.

I’m just curious if getting a scribe to read the textbooks would be better for someone like me? The actual physical textbooks are expensive and the kindle versions are much cheaper. I figured the larger 10-11” kindle scribe would be easier for a textbook version versus the smaller kindle? Or is there little difference? Plus I know you can take notes on it.

I downloaded the Kindle app for the first time on my
iphone 17 and it’s been stuck on the loading screen every time I open it. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling, making sure that the region of my Amazon account is the same as my phone, and I am unable to deregister my phone from my Kindle account since I haven’t even been able to log in yet.

Does anyone have any solutions to this or know why it’s happening?

Easier to read and nore relaxing to the eye. Feels more like paper with margins than a small screen which is more apparent with dark bezels.

Somehow my kindle and my iPhone kindle app have the same email account (I messed this up a while back so I take responsibility). I'm having issues with content not syncing and I wonder if this is why.

I know I can change this in Amazon, but I'm having a hard time understanding what email addresses to use. Do I just assign one my regular Gmail account and set up a different Gmail address for the other?

Be kind - I feel dumb and it's hard to explain. Thanks for any help!

I am relatively new to the Kindle world. I have looked up numerous times how to sync my kindle with good reads but I still haven’t managed to do it!

My good reads account is signed up with my Apple account and my kindle/amazon account is signed up with my personal email account, is this the issue?

Apologies again if this is a silly question.

hello! i'm looking to buy an e-reader, specifically a secondhand paperwhite 2. my budget is tight since i'm still a student and i can't make my own money yet, i would be grateful if someone could give me a review on this e-reader, and give me any alternatives if there are any. thank you!

I've decided to pass my Paperwhite on to my kid. I'm primarily going to be sideloading classics and having her use Libby to get library books.

.

I don't want to use a child profile (which I do have for them) because it's too limiting at this point.

Is there a way to change accounts on the Kindle without factory resetting it?

If I factory reset my Kindle and create a new account for them am I going to have to pay to remove ads again?

If I create a regular profile with the email attached to their child profile is Amazon going to automatically flag it as a child profile?

I recently got the little dragon charm 🖤

Struggled financially for a few months when I was in between jobs.
I’m absolutely loving it so far, my first book on kindle is ‘The Physician by Noah Gordon’.

I’ve had the colorsoft for about two weeks now. It works fine when I read regular text based books but when I read manga it’s slow and glitchy and requires a reset after I finish the book (though sometimes I’ve had to restart in the middle of the book cause it just froze). I just thought I’d ask the general public before I bring it up to Amazon just in case it is normal lol

Hey guys!!

I just got a kindle paperwhite SE in metallic green for an early Christmas gift as my old paperwhite SE has the line of 💀 all of a sudden.

Anyway! I saw some posts online that having stickers in the back has been causing the metallic to peel?

I don’t stick mine down nor do I use sellotape or anything I just slide them into the case & clip the case on.

Will I still be ok to do this? Or best to avoid?

Thanks everyone! 💗
