Was going to get my partner a kindle and jailbreak it, but it now seems that the jailbreak methods are being patched out. I hacked my mums way back in the day, and I’m still confident I could manage, but then they might patch it again or my partner might auto-update it or something and then it’ll be back to square one.
I don’t want to be a fumbling nerd doing the equivalent of 17 torrents that don’t work when his girlfriend just wants to use Netflix.
Just looking for one that’s a good e-reader that I can also easily jailbreak (or even just send files to with Calibre), once and forever.
Anyone got pointers?
Thanks.


I like Boox a lot, but I hear the hardware can be a little hit or miss. You can drop basically any file in the books folder and it’ll show up in the library. The device is otherwise android so you can really do anything with it.
