For a kobo you can replace the kindle store with your own calibre library so you can download and read any book you have stored in calibre.
But can it run Doom? Of course.
I run Cyanogenmod on my Kindle Fire.
Now there is a name I’ve not heard in a while.
Only the ones like the fire. Most are way too slow for something like that. I do know a couple of Linux projects though.
My kindle PW3 runs android well. If anything it feels faster as no notifications about logging in, registering.
That’s great! Maybe the new ones have better cpus
I looked up long time ago about rooting my paperwhite gen 10 but couldn’t find anything. Care to share if you have some links?
I would recommend the white winter jailbreak.
The 10th generation Paperwhite is known as the Paperwhite 4 (PW4). I have one and I jailbroke it many years ago. I’ve even accidentally uninstalled the jailbreak and was able to re-jailbreak it.
Read all of this very carefully. Make sure that your firmware version is 5.14.2 or earlier.
Then read (again, carefully) about this jailbreak method and follow the installation instructions.
Awesome! Cheers dude
What about a Boox?
If I had to buy an ereader I would buy something that is native android but my pw3 had been passed to me from my grandmother, which I cherish the device but I care deeply about privacy and freedom so hackdroid is a great middle ground.
As much as I love Android, it’s not for the privacy conscious, unless you can degoogle.
I don’t have gaps on my kindle. And even has limited system apps as it needs to be light for the hardware
Love my Boox Page
Been using Boox Poke 5 for more than a year. Really happy with it.
Latest android update added quick share which is much better than bluetooth to transfer my epub and other files
Yeah I really enjoy my Tab Ultra C as well. How does quickshare work?
Enable quick share to receive from everyone (if using different google account) in receiver side, this should be there in quick setting from swipe down (if not there, maybe it’s hidden, try to find it in edit setting). And then on sender when sharing, just use quick share. It will then show nearest devices.
Afaik, it will use wifi to transfer the file, so it’s much faster than simple Bluetooth
What does google have to do with local share?
Use KDE Connect
I’m team LocalSend
Do I have to use a Google account?
