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.

      As another Kobo user, I do want to say you have to do it this way for things like PDFs if you plan to try and read any of those. They’re always a pain with ereaders but I wasnt aware you can’t sync or send them at all so its just a little annoyance when I have everything else automatically syncing with Calibre Web.
