Let's make sure every thread has a companion thread in other forum section linking to it.

Sounds like fun! Let's do it!

Blarg. Somebody delete this thread. I thought I'd be helpful and notify people but I guess I shouldn't bother to do that :P However, this thread is just turning bad.

Looks like only one person feels this is a useless thread. There were MANY more people that found this thread very useful, myself included. Shouldn't let the wants of one outweigh the wants of the many (Thanks Spock

Wait. Just let me say this......

You know what caught my eye and made me click?

The Title!

Yes, it directed people somewhere else...but also put something important out there where it might not otherwise be seen.

Thats all it did. And there is a problem with that?

I apologize for assisting the move of your very helpful thread in a negative direction. I found it very useful as I didn't know the hack was in place until I saw this thread.

I've said my piece and will let the chips fall...

Again, thanks for the link.

I too would not have noticed the new items in the developer's section were it not for this thread.
I had in fact already upgraded mine to 3.02, but I'm pleased to say the jailbreak and the screensavers hack work well.

reech · 09-19-2010, 03:56 PM

Same here - I don't develop, and I'm not a programmer, but am curious about new technologies. Without this thread being here, I wouldn't have seen the work that had been done.

I'm not advocating that suddenly the forum is filled with signposts, but this one was useful!

JSWolf · 09-19-2010, 04:18 PM

What we really could use is a moderator to split the thread being referenced here so the stuff about the K3 is in a thread all alone with a proper title to point out that it is about the K3.

Achiever · 09-19-2010, 04:31 PM

greats news! love it!

Esquire1 · 09-19-2010, 05:41 PM

Thanks for creating this thread, OP. I wouldn't have otherwise known. Much appreciated!

Yes! Please keep telling us what we need! In this thread, it's been working out great for you so far.

vega07 · 09-19-2010, 05:45 PM

YES!!! Finally my Kindle will look more personable with my pictures on it.

Thanks niluje!

Stop debating if we should debate this thread. The original idea was to talk about the K3 hack. On topic, please.

Helgetus · 09-22-2010, 01:49 AM

Hi there.
Well, it is my first post in this GREAT, HUGE Forum!! Today my first eReader arrives, the K3. I am afraid of hacking it though ...
I´m from Germany by the way. Would hack it anway ;o) if a hack allows me to keep using my "European" Amazon account and still be able to use 3G to enter any web site. Which is not possible here in Germany! No open internet access via 3G !!!
Only Amazon.com and Wiki.en. And that is disapointing. Any help there?

Keep up the GREAT work guys

Pushka · 09-22-2010, 02:41 AM

The hack is fine, just read the instructions very carefully, a couple of times first before you do it.
I think that Amazon said that 3G was only for accessing its store and wikipedia, and the WIFI would obviously allow you to surf the net. So no solution for that.

gargoyle67 · 09-22-2010, 02:20 PM

Do Amazon also lock out uk surfing via 3G then ? I though you could just surf where ever you wanted with the 3G.
EDIT** Just read another thread, Seems uk kindles have unrestricted 3G web access
