- bigyabai 1mo agoYeah, I was going to say. I only installed KOReader because my Kindle Touch has lackluster ereader functionality.
- RankingMember 1mo agoI remember when my PaperWhite glitched while I was attempting to jailbreak it and got stuck with the screen inverted. It was great! I can't believe I have to jailbreak a reader to get that simple functionality for better in-the-dark reading. (epilogue: I let it run out of battery and the inversion was gone upon boot)
- LiamPowell 1mo agoYou don't need to jailbreak it. Swipe from the top and press the big button labelled "dark mode".
- DoctorDabadedoo 1mo agoIt is a somewhat newish feature, I think pre-2020 models don't have dark mode, afaik (and I have no idea how are old devices supported on kindle, I assume launch and forget, could be wrong though).
- necovek 1mo agoIt seems Amazon has financial and legal incentive to keep older Kindles (it is so many of them still) updated to avoid them getting jailbroken and not having Kindle store at their fingertips :) Not sure if they cut it off at some point, but they can surely keep updating 10 yo devices.
- RankingMember 1mo agoI don't have this option, though admittedly I haven't updated in a while to leave the option for jailbreaking open.
