I bought my Paperwhite at the end of 2013 and it has never been on the internet (no wifi, Amazon registered it over the phone) so it still has its original firmware.
What I'd like to know is: is it now possible for the user to load new fonts onto the reader without doing anything major, like jailbreaking; or would I have to purchase a more modern model in order to do this?
Is it possible to load new fonts onto more up-to-date kindles? If so, which?
I also own an old Sony prs 505. One of the things I love about this is the way I can alter the font in one book, while having a different font in another. With the Paperwhite, changing the font, or its size, is universal: all the books take on the same look.
Do any of the newer kindles do what my old Sony does?
Also, with the Sony prs 505, I could create Collections without any need for wifi. Wifi gives me a headache, all my internet is wired. Are there any modern kindles which let me create Collections without using the cloud, or needing a wifi connection?
Thanks in advance for any information. I'm just mulling over the idea of perhaps buying myself a new ereader for christmas. I can live with my old Paperwhite, but any significant improvements might make it nicer to use. Don't hesitate to mention other manufacturer's models if you think I might like them.
