Exclamation How NOT to install custom fonts on your kindle paperwhite

Recently I found a cool font that I wanted to use in my kindle but soon I discovered that installing font on kindle was more difficult than I thought it would be.
There was a script on this website for installing custom fonts but I really wanted to take the matter into my own hands and install my font manually.

I ended up bricking my device twice before I could finally do it.
I wanted to share my experience with others who might want to understand more about how amazon fonts work without risk bricking their devices so I wrote this blog post

I want to stress that this blog post serve as a warning rather than a guide. I strongly advice against trying what you read there unless you know how to unbrick your device

Thank you for writing about your experience the right way .

(i.e, "here's how *I* did it" vs. the "here's how YOU should do it" approach, which is unfortunately much too common, and usually for outdated or plain broken/dangerous/stupid stuff ...).
