Hello! On behalf of hhhhhhhhh and KindleModding I would like to announce Nosebleed, a 5.16.4 to 5.18.6 jailbreak that works on blacklisted and registered mass-storage Kindles. It has been confirmed to work on 5.18.6 with the PW5(SE) and KT5, and it could possibly work on the KOA3 although this has been untested.

I've been working on Orbit eReader, a custom interface for my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition that runs directly on the device’s existing Linux system.
The goal is to build a different experience from the stock Kindle UI, with a clean, minimalist design and custom apps for reading, managing files, taking notes, and more.
It’s still a work in progress, but I wanted to share a quick demo of what’s working so far.
What do you think? Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!

My old Kindle 4 was just collecting dust, so I made Minos: a simple, fast reading system that replaces the original Amazon software. It’s fully open source.

I have a 2024 Kindle Scribe (2nd gen) currently running firmware 5.17.2, and it's already jailbroken with KOReader installed.

What happens its that i recently bought a Bluetooth Page Turner and I'm wondering if I need to update my Scribe to firmware 5.20.1 for it to work, or if there's a way to use it with KOReader while staying on 5.17.2.

Does anyone know if i Can simply pair/connect the Page Turner and configure it in KOReader, or do I need a specific plugin or some additional setup?

I'd prefer to stay on 5.17.2 if possible since the device is already jailbroken and working well.

Has anyone tested a Bluetooth Page Turner with KOReader on a Scribe 2024 running 5.17.2?

Bought the Free3 Page turner

So turns out you can use a stylus with your kindle. :) if anyone wanted to. So cool.

Since updating simple UI and Reading Logs I have not been able to manually add books read outside kindle to my goal, it automatically puts the number back to 0.

Anyone know how to fix this? It’s not a huge deal. Just a little annoying. lol

Which is best in terms of personalization? I know that kobo lets you install KoReader right away, but I don't know if you can install custom firmware, screensavers, extensions etc.

I’ve just modded a kindle paperwhite 6th gen for my partner using winter break 2
I’ve installed koreader but now I have zero clue on what to do next if anyone can help with what to install or to do next that would be a huge help.
Also I’ve created a new Amazon account for this as I didn’t want anything to happen to her current one. I’m doing it on this one as I worried about bricking her current one the paperwhite 10th gen

C’è un modo per usare Reddit sul Kindle paperwhite? Ho già fatto jailbreak e provato con inksurf

I’ve had my kindle jailbroken for the last couple of months and realized once I exit koreader, my kindle inverts and the night mode toggle does nothing. It also doesn’t look like kindles original night mode. I’m so confused as to what happened because it looked fine originally post jailbreak.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

A few days ago I posted KoSend, an Android app that sends books from your phone to KOReader through its built-in calibre wireless client. Thanks to everyone who tried it and left feedback! Since then I've released four updates (now v1.3.0).

Here's what's new:

- Edit book details before sending: fix the title and authors, description, filename, set the series and its number, add tags. KOReader then sorts and groups the book properly and shows the tags as keywords.

- Changes are written into the file when it's sent: the OPF for EPUB, plus FB2, MOBI, AZW3 and PDF info. The copy on your phone isn't modified, and "Restore details from the file" brings back the original details.

- Change the cover with any image from your phone (EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2).

- Crop the cover: 2:3, 5:8 (Kindle), 3:4 (Kobo), square, the image's own shape or free, with rotation and the final size in pixels. In EPUBs the cover page is fitted to the new image so it doesn't get stretched.

- Re-sending an edited book works: KoSend gives it a new file name so KOReader picks up the new cover and details, and it deletes the old copy from the e-reader.

- Series, series number and tags are sent to KOReader's calibre metadata for every book.

- Covers in the queue for EPUB, MOBI/AZW3 and PDF.

- A details page for each book: authors, series, publisher, date, language, ISBN, description, file info.

- Drag to reorder the queue, swipe to remove with undo.

- A Retry button right on books that failed to send.

- Better metadata reading for MOBI and AZW3.

- Safer transfers: KoSend reads the list of books on the e-reader every time it connects. It only deletes old copies that are actually there and never overwrites a different book with the same name.

- See how much space KoSend uses, with an option to delete a book's copy once KOReader has it.

Same as before: nothing to install on the reader, no accounts, no internet, GPL-3.0.

If you try it, tell me whether it worked, along with your device and KOReader version.

If you find KoSend useful, a ⭐ on GitHub would mean a lot. It helps other KOReader users find the project. Ideas for new features, bug reports and suggestions are very welcome here in the comments or as a GitHub issue.

As promised on my last post here are all the ornaments I currently use 😊 hope someone gets some enjoyment out of these. I will be adding to this folder as I get more ornaments.

Kobo all of a sudden has been crashing/hanging a few times over the last few days. I also don’t remember that big question mark at the top. I may have fat fingered some setting but before this week it’s been solid as a rock and I haven’t changed anything other than adding a few books.

I know it’s not a lot to go on but I figured I’d ask and see if there’s something obvious that I am missing.

Any thoughts?

I ran the ota.sh script, and then ran the Check OTA Status script, to verify that "Your Kindle will update".

had trouble jailbreaking mine but it turns out for the font you have to set the boldness to 0 (in addition to max font size). Happy jailbreaking!

Ornaments + Reading Log module plugin go so well together!

I don't currently have a full chain to jailbreak, but do have some bits and pieces.
I'd love it if someone with any model, 2024+, 5.19.x+ is able to test.
As always, there's a chance of bricking your kindle, though I try to keep it as low as possible 😂
interested? PM me

I followed the GitHub process of jailbreaking my kindle using spider-cat and I think I managed to install koreader but when I select the application button it doesn't change the appearance and stays on the same screen.

Can anyone advize so I can move on to the customizing and adding stage?
