@orci This site is a great source of information. I used this to jailbreak my Kindle and I was lucky with my timing. The following update so far hasn't been broken. Edit: Helps posting the link! https://kindlemodding.org/

@orci Is jailbreak really necessary? I thought so, but earlier I saw a post explaining that hour can just use Calibre to convert eBooks and transfer them through USB. I don’t own a kindle, so I didn’t really check, but that might be useful to people who find the jailbreak process daunting. @GamesMissed

@orci That cassette tape is the best purchase I ever did at Computer Literacy :-) My personal preference is "You can build a mainframe from the things you find at home" :-)
