  1. Liliputing News Roundup: (Kindle Jailbreak, Xteink X3, and AMD Gorgon Halo)

    For the second time in a month, there’s a new Kindle jailbreak method in the wild. MINISFORUM continues to make ridiculously powerful network attached storage systems. Lenovo is promising seven years of updates for its new premium Android tablets. And a developer found a nifty way to push content to his Xteink X3 pocket-sized eReader: by “printing” it.

  4. A new Kindle Jailbreak called SpiderCat works with most recent models running firmware versions 5.16.3 through 5.19.5, works even on unregistered Kindles, and includes KPM (Kindle Package Manager), making it easy to install KOReader and other homebrew apps. It leverages a different exploit than the Vera jailbreak released last month. reddit.com/r/kindlejailbreak/c

  8. 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: aseachange.com/@elena/statuses

    If you are interested in doing something similar, the website kindlemodding.org is a phenomenal resource.

  16. 🔓​ #KindleJailbreak chronicles - day 39 📖​

    I'm sharing this in case it can motivate other people with e-readers to get back to steady reading habits.

    I setup a jailbroken Kindle with #KOreader and #SimpleUI a little over a month ago (39 days to be exact).

    I had been missing reading books and I knew that with quantification / a clear metric showing minutes spent reading every day I could get back in the habit.

    For context, ever since I started tracking my step count, I've been averaging over 10,000 steps a day - for 7 YEARS now!

    Anyway, 39 days in and my daily reading average (over the last 7 days) has been 56 minutes/day. I was aiming for 30. I guess that it also helps that Suzanne Collins is a great writer 😅​

    A side effect of reading so much is that writing feels effortless now. The words just flow.

    Yesterday I published a deep dive on W Social (ICYMI): https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-untold-story-about-w-social-unconventional-beginnings-strategic-pitches-conflicting-signals/

    Wishing you all a great day!

  20. One of my biggest regrets from the past few years was losing the habit of reading books. All the usual excuses: child to look after, too tired, not enough time…

    I didn’t read a ton, but I had an average of 30 books a year. Last year I must have read 6. This year in early April I was at 0… and the realization shook me to my core.

    Something had to be done.

    I found out about KOreader and SimpleUI - having on an e-reader homepage a bar with reading stats would be an incredible motivator… I thought.

    Jailbroke my #Kindle, installed #KOreader and #SimpleUI. And 18 days later I have… an 18 day reading streak and I’m averaging 43 minutes of reading time per day. I’m just so happy! 😊

    (Unrelated but #Technofeudalism is REALLY GOOD - off to go resume reading it for another 20 minutes or so).

  24. 👩‍💻​ 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.

  28. After the chat recently of people jailbreaking their old kindles, I dug out mine (haven’t used it in a long time) and managed to get the battery kicking again!
    Has anyone tried jail breaking theirs and do you have any advice? Can I do without a windows machine?

  34. 👩🏻‍💻 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:

    1. jailbreaking it
    2. installing a HotFix to prevent OTA updates
    3. installing KUAL
    4. installing KOreader
    5. installing SimpleUI
    6. removing ads
    7. installing custom transparent wallpapers
    8. transferring 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

    A blog post that chronicles what I have been up to since December... namely: advocating for the Fediverse, creating #selfhosting guides for newbies and experimenting with e-reader jailbreaks and off-grid mesh radio communications

  42. 👩‍💻​ My So Called Sudo Life: Jailbroken Kindle x Windows edition :Terminal:​

    I just used a Windows PC for the first time in 20 years possibly?

    Long story short, I typically manage my Kindle 4's contents with a Macbook Air from 2013 that still works wonderfully.

    But! The old Air stayed behind in Paris, as I just arrived at my parents' in Italy with my Macbook Air M4. And the Kindle would not mount on it, no matter what I tried (even checking USB connections in Terminal). Last resort: I asked my parents if I could use their PC.

    Dad got upset because with the first micro USB cable the computer wouldn't recognize my Kindle... so he launched #copilotai looking for help and I literally screamed "Nooooo I don't want any of that, quit quit quit immediately."

    A different cable did the trick, I installed an earlier version of KOreader and it seems to be better... but the books aren't rendering yet, they're all gibberish, so I may have to install Calibre on my parents' PC and re-convert all the books.

    Why going through so many hassles? Did you ever see how gorgeous Simple UI is for KOreader? A total game changer.

    Sorry for the GitHub link, but it's either this or Reddit or YouTube, so choosing the "lesser evil" (debatable, I know):

    I'll share photos as soon as I get it to work... it already took me upwards of 6 hours to get KUAL and koreader to install on my ancient Kindle. Nobody is stopping me now, I'm super super motivated to get it to work 😅​

  46. I think I've come to the conclusion that jailbreaking a kindle is more possibly doable than simply doable. Can't get KUAL to show up, KindleForge can't install things, and it seems like every page I read trying to debug this was last updated in 201*. #kindlejailbreak

  50. PSA:

    I jailbreaked my Kindle Scribe yesterday. Turns out there's a vulnerability in all kindle firmware versions across devices, (not including the color e-ink Kindles, but that won't be for long) there isn't a patch released yet, so we have a new jailbreak, called WinterBreak, released this new year's day. Works great! (although I'd appreciate if KOReader gets pen annotation support for the Scribe)

  52. And we're done!! Now I'm not sure what to do. I have KUAL so guess I need some apps. Anyone got any recommendations?
