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.

You only need calibre and it handles everything for you.

An issue you may run into is light gray font, which is easily solved

Vpn, Calibre, and myanonymouse are all you need.

Maybe an oxford comma. Maybe not, it's your choice.

Wouldn't recommend a VPN for MyAnonamouse unless they give you a static IP. You'll find it hard to maintain the leech time they require. A seedbox would work better.

I use airvpn and always use the same server. Never had a problem

You'll also run into problems if you have the same IP as another MyAnonamouse use. Not that hard to fix when it happens, but I'm just pointing out these are all issues that a seedbox sidesteps.

Just tell them you're using a VPN and what IP address you're using, and it won't matter.
