  shrug I've never bought an e-book I've read on my Kindle from Amazon. Guess it's only getting more and more attractive to jailbreak.

I jailbroke my kindle 7th gen using this guide. Tonnes of features, dark mode, add your own fonts, read epub/cbr w/o converting from calibre. Its like my kindle had a Resurrection. Its awesome. Highly recommended.

  >You'll still be able to make purchases on the Amazon website and send them to your Kindle, and likewise, your existing e-book library will still be accessible on the device, so it's not like this hardware is being made completely obsolete. So, they aren't becoming bricks. Whew!
