  What can I do with a jailbroken kindle that makes it worth doing instead of just using calibre?

    Better Calibre integration.

    Custom shelves and book collections on Kindle.

      You literally just said the two things I wished Kindle allowed me to do natively.

      I hate the fact my Kindle store books will bundle by series, but my non-kindle books will not.

        Yea, I had like a 2nd or 3rd gen paperwhite and rooted it for this reason, but my partner’s wasn’t hackable until this moment. So now she can have it too.

      Ok, the latter might actually be worth it. I’ll have to look into that.

    I switched from the default reader to koreader, and now I have dark mode (mine is probably about 8 years old and did not originally have this feature). Koreader has so many features and qol improvements compared to the default Kindle experience.

    Better reader, PDFs with reflow.

      How would the reading experience improve for regular ebooks?
