Hi,
for those who have Kindle at home and don’t want to use Amazon’s Infrastructure I prepared this blog post which describes how to jailbreak your Kindle and install open-source software on it :)
After you are done you will:
- have KOReader installed
- be able to load epub books into the Kindle via email
- create epub books from browser tabs
Post here: Kindle Jailbreak
I believe that if you already have Kindle laying around it could be beneficial to use it without Amazon software instead of buying Kobo/another alternatives.
Or course - don’t buy a brand new Kindle just to do the jailbreak, you can invest your money to a different company
Any recommendations where to buy DRM-free epubs?
I recently got an XTEink X4 and installed the open source Crosspoint Reader firmware (I really enjoy the small form factor)
I tried beam-shop.de and they have a decent, all DRM-free catalogue.
There’s a list here: https://libreture.com/bookshops/
Defective by Design has an Article about getting DRM-Free eBooks which I recommend checking there.
Sometimes, Humble Bundle will have eBook bundles which couple I brought are DRM-Free. Just make sure you check the details of the bundles as not sure if every eBook bundles would be like that.
