Kindle Paperwhite that is blocked from registering - any uses?

[gambiting]

Hi. I have had problems with my Paperwhite, where the Wi-Fi network would only work 1/10 times, basically I think the Wi-Fi chip is absolutely wrecked and I can't do anything about it. In any case - I've contacted Amazon Support and they said that they could replace it for a new device, but after asking to talk to manager,they agreed that instead I could purchase the new Paperwhite 2 with an 80% discount. I agreed and ordered the new Paperwhite. The interesting thing is,that they said that I can keep the old one, I don't need to send it back,but it will be blocked from registering ever again. So I basically have a fully functional e-reader, except for wi-fi functionality.

So, since I have no more uses for the device - does anyone have suggestions for cool stuff I could do with it? Personally, I would really like to know why the Wi-Fi doesn't work,so maybe someone could tell me how to access log files for the wifi driver? That would be a good start I guess.

if you install Kual: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=203326
then you can run these: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=205064

you can jailbreak and install any of these using a USB cable. or you can just use it to read books.

I've already explained the process to you before KNC1. Some people just never learn.
If you need I'll PM you the exact process as we don't want too many people to learn about this hidden feature.

My bad, I should have bookmarked your earlier post.

I didn't think it was possible to read anything on these devices since they don't have a printer attachment.

But Twobob tells me we can run a network attached printer from them.

The main problem with that is there isn't any attachment that will grind up trees and turn them into paper, nor one to make ink.

Honestly KNC1.... It's not that hard. You put it face down on a photo copier and print it that way. I thought everyone knew that!!
