Not foolish necessarily. I wouldn't trust in an unauthorized hack to always be available however and Amazon has, from the beginning, done things to break various hacks and jailbreaks so I certainly wouldn't trust that their devices would be the best choice if altering them is necessary to be happy with said device.


Better for you personally or "better" period.


IMO most people (general users who don't generally hang out on forums like this, we're generally pickier here) really don't care. They're happy to use any device in it's stock form with whatever options/adjustments it happens to offer. Heck from talking to many people and participating in hundreds of discussions over the years most don't seem to even care much about typos/ocr errors in their books or if their books have been properly edited for decent grammar.
I am one of the few that expects sentences to make sense but as to "proper" grammar, what region is the author from. Don't even get me started on the "uppity ones" that say 50 shades is not proper grammar because the sentences are simple.
I guess the absolute dumbest thing I ever heard was "I don't notice any errors so my readers won't notice mine.
Let's just say when your "reader" is counting the errors, you have lost them.
