👩🏻💻 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:jailbreaking itinstalling a HotFix to prevent OTA updatesinstalling KUALinstalling KOreaderinstalling SimpleUIremoving adsinstalling custom transparent wallpaperstransferring books to ittook 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.orgFor inspo: look up #KOreader and #SimpleUI homepages to realize what you could do#MySoCalledSudoLife #Kindle #modding #jailbreak
