Hi!

I want to get more into reading but books can be expensive and bulky.

I thought I’d buy a Kindle (or similar) since those screens are pleasant to read on, but I don’t know if there’s anything specific I should be looking for piracy wise.

Apparently amazon has added support for epubs so I’m hoping it’ll make it easier to load with my own downloaded books?

Also, the version names/models of kindles are crap.

Edit: I seem to have posted this same/similar question yesterday but I have no recollection of doing so. If this is something you’re interested have a look at that post.

    You can jailbreak older software versions of kindle and install KoReader which is such a fantastic software. Open source and very feature rich https://github.com/koreader/koreader Personally I would not buy kindle again as I just don’t want Amazon on my device at all.
