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.

I know this is the wrong /c/ for this, but… your local library probably has tons of content you can check out on your Kindle for free.

Seems like a good tip, but I’m from the EU so other than physical books and outdated PC’s with dialup (okay, dialup might be going too far haha) I don’t think there’s anything else at the library here.

I don’t know where you’re from, but I’m from the Netherlands. With a library subscription you can basically download any book (in Dutch or English) and keep them forever

Portugal. I highly doubt our libraries have anything besides old books and aging PC tech.

Even german libraries have ebook lending. You should probably take another look at your local option

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. :(
