Upgraded my Jailbroken Kindle 4(NT) to Paperwhite 11th Gen - Disappointed

Tired · 07-12-2023, 02:34 PM

I took the plunge to upgrade my trusted jailbroken Kindle 4 NT (KOReader) to a prime day kindle paperwhite 11th gen (traded in to get an extra 20% off) - cost about £65.

After a few hours (knowing I can't jailbreak due to FW 5.15.1.1) of using the device, I wish I didn't bother with buying.

More than likely I've taken too far a step from the old device, it's too apple-esq, and using the kindle software, it feels like going back in time - hardly any features compared to KOReader.

Buy something else then - you can install KOReader on a Kobo or a Pocketbook without any fuss. No jailbreaking needed.
