  Yeah, I put it into airplane mode when I heard Amazon was going to push an update removing some feature. Then just kept using it as I did before using calibre to send books.

  Finally decided to jailbreak it and I am glad I did since the custom lockscreens and koreader has been cool.

    I’m honestly surprised how many people I see doing this. No judgement , it’s just now how I use the device.

    I couldn’t give up my syncing of progress! I love being able to pick up on the Kindle app on my phone if I’m in a waiting room then back to my kindle proper at home.

    I’m jazzed to finally have been able to jailbreak my device so I can use KoReader on both the phone and Kindle and keep the same experience.

      Is KOReader android only? I don’t see it in the App Store. The main feature of the Amazon reader apps for me is the position sync so I can read on the go. I’d hate to lose that feature.

        Unfortunately I believe it isn’t available on iOS. On Android you can install it from a few sources. Directly from GitHub, or via F-Droid(or something similar). I’m with you though, that feature is key to me not scrolling forever.
