@jwilker@wandering.shopAges ago when we were closing down our coworking space, my friend gave me his old Kindle Keyboard. It wasn't charging. I wanted it as a display piece.
It's been on a shelf for all this time with the “Your battery is dead" screen. So I decided to see if I could bring it back to life just so it'd be a living display piece.
The old battery was... oof.
A little poking and opening it back up and boom! new battery works. Hello there Mr. Elison
Amazon bringt clevere Neuerung für Kindle: Seiten umblättern durch Doppeltippen auf Geräterückseite. Reduziert Fingerabdrücke auf dem Display. #Kindle #Amazon https://winfuture.de/news,149888.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Looking to move away from Amazon for reading. I shared my current workflow and what I’m looking for—would love your recommendations!

Tomorrow morning I'm running off to escape to island/beach life for one week.
With the vague idea of:
Taking time to rest Reading books (I've been sadly lacking in my reading time lately) on my #Kindle Spending some lazy days with a little #travel Maybe write a lil Of course, #SteamDeck and #NintendoSwitch time also
Here's some of my fav #art by one of my fav artists, because I adore pirates. Bobby Kehl does #digitalart which makes me feel like a pirate-girl.
@crimsonfall I believe that Amazon's #Kindle has a lot to blame for this — on both ends (garbage in, garbage out). If the author allows the book on Kindle, or some other e-book publisher, ti's far easier to get scooped up into the generative #AI slop machine. It's still possible to get books published as hard-copy only (either contractually or by self-publishing).

@CleoQc@mstdn.caI have a pretty old Kindle, bought in 2013 and running 4.1.3.
Does anyone know if I can replace the OS on it? I am interested in being able to read epubs and no longer be dependent on the Amazon store.

PSA: There seems to be a host of stable #kindle #jailbreak s out there. If you, like me, have an older Kindle lying around, don't let it connect to Amazon for the latest firmware updates. Instead, head over to https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/kindle-models.html and follow the instructions.
Only took a few minutes in my case :3
@EveHasWords@toot.catIt's almost the last day to get all my current books for free on #Smashwords !
If you have a Kindle, see my instructions [toot.cat] on how to have your Smashwords purchases sent directly to your #Kindle and don't forget to check out the other authors on the #ebookweek25 hashtag!
This is my semi-regular #introduction to find people!
(she/her)
I work in #infosec as a #pentester
A big, big believer in #opensource + #FOSS
My library for #GOG games is endless, because I believe whole-heartedly in DRM-free gaming
95% of what I post is about #gaming or the #SteamDeck (it's my happy place!)
I'm trying to expand my #anime tastes, with Dan Da Dan being my most recent obsession (suggestions welcomed!)
My #Kindle is utterly Calibre'd
We should be friends!!!
Lol oh my goodness. Kindle for Mac sucks so much now that the library view is just... "In Library Grid View content is empty". Yep. Real A one one Y there. Thanks Cramazon.
@kkarhan@infosec.space@noblefeu also das mit Farbe ist ne Frage des Panels.
Wasserdichtigkeit geht notfalls per Hülle (gibt reputable Hersteller die sogar Druckwasserdichtigkeit für's Tauchen garantieren, brsucht halt buttons)...
Sowas wie "#ePub-Dateien ohne #DRM von #microSD lesen und anzeigen" sollte jeder halbwegs taugliche #eReader können. Ansonsten ist es allenfalls nen "#ThinClient für geschlossene Systeme" (vgl. #Amazon #Kindle)!
TIL: Whatever #ebooks or documents you put on a #Kindle, they're being indexed & uploaded automatically to the #Amazon server if the device has an internet connection. Just found out with an unpublished #manuscript that someone wanted to read on their Kindle and it ended up on the Amazon server, although it was put onto the Kindle manually via cable. Whatever you do with Amazon devices, you're adding everything to Amazon's data collection. #Enshittification #AuthorRights #IntellectualProperty
Who is #GabrielZurmuehlen ?
A historical novel set in the late 1600s...
@JL_Lycette@mindly.social"While Lycette’s novel about the threat of...AI could not be more timely, the story’s realistic portrait of the humans seeking to control it is what makes it memorable" - BestThrillers.com, "The Best Medical Thriller Books of the 21st Century"
