You can use Calibre to convert your ebooks to MOBI/AZW3, which Kindle accepts, and if you put your Kindle in airplane mode (so it stops getting OTA updates) and wait log enough it'll probably get a jailbreak at some point. At which point you can install KOReader for superior PDF/DjVu reading experience. Last jailbreak covers Kindle software <= 5.14.2; so Kindle Voyage and earlier all should be supported.

- systemicdanna 4y agoThis looks very promising. In addition to using KOReader I will be able to customize the lock screen and remove Amazon's upsells. I guess the only downside is that I won't be able to use WiFi or buy e-books from Amazon.
