Hi sailors,

I’m trying to get into the habit of reading but books are often expensive and cumbersome. However I don’t particularly like reading on my phone screen since I’ll get distracted eventually.

Sn e-reader seems to me a perfect fit. It’s tech enough that I find it interesting. Not too expensive. Gorgeous paper white display.

So, essentially what I want to know is, which kindle (or other device) is best for cracking/exploiting/moding, and overall just your opinion on it.

Edit: I didn’t expect so many people to reply! Thanks everyone!

Also I don’t remember writing half of the things on this post? Might just install a monoxide detector… If some admin edited it, thanks. It’s a lot clearer now, probably why it got so much traction.

    I have a kobo for years and never managed to sync it wirelessly, is there a way to make automatic syncs as soon as I add a book?

      I self host a Calibre-Web server that my Kobo syncs to. I had to edit a setting in my Kobo to point to it. In Calibre-web I have a kobo ‘shelf’ that you add books to and whenever I press sync on the Kobo it syncs to that shelf.
