Hi sailors,
I’m trying to get into the habit of reading but books are often expensive and cumbersome. However I don’t particularly like reading on my phone screen since I’ll get distracted eventually.
So, e-readers seems to me a perfect fit. It’s tech enough that I find it interesting. Not too expensive. Gorgeous paper white display.
So, essentially what I want to know is, which kindle (or other device) is best for cracking/exploiting/moding, and overall just your opinion on it.
Edit3: I’ve decided I’ll buy a paperwhite kindle (2020 version). I found a 2nd hand one, like new, for 80€ with a screen protector + magnetic cover. This way I’m still not supporting amazon :)
Edit 2: I’m from the EU 🇪🇺 so, if you have EU specific tips it’d be great. Also my country doesn’t really care about piracy so I’m not really worried about VPNs
Edit: I didn’t expect so many people to reply! Thanks everyone!
Also I don’t remember writing half of the things on this post? Might just install a monoxide detector… If some admin edited it, thanks. It’s a lot clearer now, probably why it got so much traction.
Well Germany is pretty much one of the best examples on EU. If you said something like even Bulgaria has them I’d be surprised…
I’m from Portugal so I doubt we have those on the libraries. But, I’ll have a look, I have a library 5mins away on foot.
You’d be surprised how ass backwards Germany is with elevtronic stuff…
Regarding e-lending: Surely depends on the local offers around you. Totally (sadly).
Well that’s fair. I’ve never been to Germany (yet) so I just assumed it would be better than here.
Doesn’t seem like we have any elending programs here though… I did find an online Portuguese State library but the ebooks are paid. :(
Oh well. Back to piracy am i right?
