Don't throw away your Kindle, Jailbreak it and take back ownership. Make your Kindle even better with KoReader and other apps. If you wanna see whats possible i recomment this Yt video. If you wanna get started here are all instructions: https://kindlemodding.org/ Don't let it scare you it seems complicated but its just a lot of (easy) steps. So definitely possible in <2h.

I get mine from an IRC channel that has basically everything imaginable

Torrents and shit are cool and all, but hopping onto IRC and saying 'Hobbit, Tolkien" and being sent 100 download links is, imo, the best

Run it through Calibre and boom, you've got a cheap and quality e-reader with free books

Woah. Could you a link to the IRC channel?

I went to get it after leaving the comment and am devastated to remember that I had it saved in a text file that I lost. I'll try to remember to dig through my history to find it, but I do know I found it by basic web search a few years back and that there are many of them in existence, so it shouldn't be hard to find one of your own if I forget
