Kindle and piracy suggestions (self.piracy)

Hi sailors,

I'm trying to get into the habit of reading but books are often expensive and cumbersome. However I don't particularly like reading on my phone screen since I'll get distracted eventually.

So, e-readers seems to me a perfect fit. It's tech enough that I find it interesting. Not too expensive. Gorgeous paper white display.

So, essentially what I want to know is, which kindle (or other device) is best for cracking/exploiting/moding, and overall just your opinion on it.

Edit3: I've decided I'll buy a paperwhite kindle (2020 version). I found a 2nd hand one, like new, for 80€ with a screen protector + magnetic cover. This way I'm still not supporting amazon :)

Edit 2: I'm from the EU 🇪🇺 so, if you have EU specific tips it'd be great. Also my country doesn't really care about piracy so I'm not really worried about VPNs

Edit: I didn't expect so many people to reply! Thanks everyone!

Also I don't remember writing half of the things on this post? Might just install a monoxide detector... If some admin edited it, thanks. It's a lot clearer now, probably why it got so much traction.

No, they'll tell you that you need a unique IP. It's a rule.

1.2 Duplicating IP Addresses 2022-06-23

  • Do not create more than one account per person or per IP address. Members who share the same IP address, must share the same account.
  • If we see 2 or more accounts on 1 IP address, all accounts on that IP address will be disabled.
  • If we notice more than one account for any one member, that member’s account will be disabled and may receive a permanent ban.
  • VPN's, Proxies, and Seedboxes: If you use/share a seedbox (or start to do so), or utilize a VPN/Proxy facility, the above IP rule may cause you problems. You will need to inform us of the IP address and provider of your seedbox, or provider of VPN/Proxy, so we can note your account. Please let us know if the seedbox ip is new, replacing an existing seedbox or is an additional seedbox you would like to have added. You can contact staff through the Staff Contact System.
