Comment on YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books.
count_duckula@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month agoI’ve been using KOReader on my phone now, ever since my Kindle one day decided to be unrecognisable on my computer. Couldn’t find a solution to fix it so it became a glorified paperweight.
The screen real estate is slightly degraded, but fuck if I give Amazon any more of my money. Besides, I get to store epubs as epubs instead of converting to that god awful mobi format.

Way to go, modern phone screens are not too bad…I think a big reason I enjoy dumb ereaders is the lack of multitasking lol
Your kindle probably has a busted micro usb port (the cables too can stop working for data transfer), no idea if it’s too difficult to solder a new one… I would try cleaning it up really well first
