Got the idea in my head the other day that I should look into Kindle jailbreaking for my older Paperwhite 2. Was surprised to find there wasn't much of a scene, and no meaningful OS to install.
I'd absolutely love to read Twitter and other sites if they were formatted smartly for an e-ink device. An e-ink RSS reader would be a dream. I know there's a site out there that tries to be a hub/aggregator for reading some sites on the Kindle browser, but you have to type in the URL every time..
The Kindle browser is still experimental after a decade and has almost no features or real UX. All the JS out there probably killed the project.

If they are not sold anymore, it would not lose them much while avoiding turning them into e-waste, thus gaining goodwill.
