Anyone know how to set custom screen idle images after doing this? I've been wanting to put 'Don't Panic' on my 6th gen paperwhite since I got it but it's so locked down that wasn't possible.

Custom sleep picture is one of the features of KOReader. Pretty easy to spot it in the settings.

I decided to go ahead and install KOReader and check it out. It's pretty neat although I can't find what you're describing in the settings.

In any case I was hoping to find a way to do this without having to switch to a separate user interface.

Giving me something to do with my current kindle. I wasn't sure how to load to it my downloaded books, so I've been suffering on my phone, but hopefully this helps me out a bunch. Thanks. This is a rabbit hole I never knew existed.

Is there a way to change the Library to be able to see epub files? I have KOReader installed now, but I have to go through the directory to find my epub files.

What for? Cuz loading pirated books is trivial?

Isn't a cracked (old, I think?) Kindle the only way to pirate KU/DRM titles? At least, that's what I recall from the last time I looked into it. There's a book I really wanted to format shift from KU since Google TTS was fucking up all the proper nouns, but I gave up. (It was an obscure book that isn't available anywhere pirated.)

Ah I wouldn't know about THAT. I just download and convert epubs from the likes of z-library/libgen, and have done so since getting my first Kindle circa 2012

im glad i got a normal tablet over an ereader, s9fe surprisingly is fire (i read comic books mostly), relatively cheap tablets are solid now, too big at 11 inches to one hand comfortably but better for video so ill make the sacrifice. Expected cheaper tablets to be garbage since my only experience was like a decade ago, now they're all pretty good, the lenovo ones are better/cheaper off aliexpress and have usable nits (brightness) compared to the us models.

Is comic rack still the standard software for comics?

[–] pezhore@infosec.pub 4 points 5 days ago

It is, and it's been revived! https://github.com/maforget/ComicRackCE

Wow, they decide to kill off downloading books over USB and karma immediately strikes back lol

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Huh, TIL, my gf has a relatively old Kindle, are all the models affected?

She uses Calibre to get her books.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Poor wording on my part, they're removing the ability to download books directly from Amazon to your computer. You can still transfer books via USB using Calibre.

Hers's an article from The Verge with more info. My apologies.
