Was going to get my partner a kindle and jailbreak it, but it now seems that the jailbreak methods are being patched out. I hacked my mums way back in the day, and I'm still confident I could manage, but then they might patch it again or my partner might auto-update it or something and then it'll be back to square one.

I don't want to be a fumbling nerd doing the equivalent of 17 torrents that don't work when his girlfriend just wants to use Netflix.

Just looking for one that's a good e-reader that I can also easily jailbreak (or even just send files to with Calibre), once and forever.

Anyone got pointers?

Thanks.

btw you should look into https://pgaskin.net/kepubify/try/ for converting your epubs into kepubs. they work better with kobo os!

This is really cool. I might give this a download soon and convert some things I've downloaded
