3 Clever Things You Can Do With an Old Amazon Kindle

I've owned my Kobo Forma for over 7 years. It's survived spills in coffee shops, numerous drops, being lept on by a dog, being smushed in the overhead compartment of airplanes, and 3½ months on my hospital bed tray. It's worn out one case, and is halfway through wearing out a second.

I'd love an excuse to buy a new e-reader, but I don't think this one has any intention of quitting. The battery isn't what it used to be, but I still get a few days of decent use with each charge.

In an astonishing achievement for humanity, we now have Free Ink, an "open ecosystem" for e-readers. Because clearly, what the world desperately needed was yet another #ecosystem to mismanage our digital reading 🤦‍♂️. Next up: reinventing the wheel with square tires! 🚀🙃

Happy: got a Kobo Clara BW ereader and it's a big upgrade from my 2018 Kindle Paperwhite.
- treats my sideloaded books as part of my regular library instead of shunting them off into 'documents'
- sorts even sideloaded books by series, Author, etc
- integrated with Overdrive, so I can borrow books from my local public library directly from my device
- newer screen tech=faster refresh rates
- usb c is just nice

Anyways, it's awesome and I'm very happy.

I also debated a Boox Go Gen II with the stylus (I miss my Note 8 tablet w/stylus), but decided against it because of battery life, repairability, and water proofness (that tablet's battery pillowed and my battery repair failed).

Also, shout-out to Humble Bundle for selling me a ton of DRM-free books to sideload. I recently got the Mercedes Lackey and Robert Silverberg mega bundles. #calibre #kobo #ereaders #happyhappy #boox #humblebundle

Tip for Kobo e-readers. If you want to read with white text on a black background, you can activate "invert screen". This can be found by clicking on "settings", then "device information". This is where you can select "developer options" and find the toggle switch for "invert screen".

Kindle loyalists scramble as Amazon turns page on old e-readers

“Laura Alice Bracken, a #Geelong-based artist, started building her own cyberdeck as an extension of her creative practice, in which she was experimenting with #MIDI controllers that take #biofrequencies from #plants and transform them into #soundwaves.

But Bracken, 39, wanted something she could take out into #nature and, after falling down a rabbit hole online, her mind started to widen to the world of #cyberdecks.

The device she is making – housed inside a vintage abalone shell – will also double as an e-reader.

“I just found out my #Kindle is about to be made redundant,” she says (Amazon recently announced they would no longer support #eReaders made before 2012).”

“It is a perfectly good Kindle ... so why is it suddenly going to be trash? It’s because they want to sell new ones.”

Kindle users are facing an unwelcome change: Amazon last month said it would ‌end support ‌for e-readers released in 2012 and earlier, with one longtime user saying the move is a "complete betrayal." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/05/20/tech/kindle-amazon-e-readers/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #amazon #kindle #ereaders

@bookstodon
It's interesting, I've really enjoyed reading on my different ereaders over the years, I still do, but I seem to be drifting back to physical books lately. Ebooks are really convenient, but at least for newer titles they aren't much cheaper than a paperback, if at all.
I also find that I remember physical books better (and audiobooks the least). There's also a certain sense of satisfaction and contentment of looking at my shelves.

*Huge* update to the #Crosspoint firmware for #Xteink #eReaders just dropped. Loads of bug fixes and new features. Can’t wait to give this a test drive 😎

Great work from Zach Nelson and all other contributors

I've been working on an implementation in Go of the KOReader Sync stuff for a self-hostable sync server

https://github.com/Brunty/koreader-sync

Are there others out there that also do this? Yes

Did this need to exist? Maybe not

Am I having fun working on it as it's a simple project to get to grips with some stuff in Go because I'm new to that language? Yes

Am I already using it as the target for KOReader Sync on my #PocketBook Era Color? Yes

Any volunteers to replace the USB-C port on my eReader? I just watched a video on how to do it and....hard pass.
