I revived my old kindle pw7 using this a week or so ago. If you have an old kindle lying around, you can use it as an e-ink weather dashboard (or anything else for that matter, as long as you can convert it into a 8bit greyscale image). https://terminalbytes.com/reviving-kindle-paperwhite-7th-gen...

> Only Americans (to the extent I know) differentiate jail and gaol. Jail and prison. You inhabit a very different reality than everybody else. Americans do not differentiate jail and gaol; Americans don't use the word "gaol" under any circumstances, ever. It is not a part of American English.
American here. Never seen the word written before.
These same games will have voice actors pronounce "ye" as it's written, unaware that the y is a typographic substitute for Þ. "ye olde" is pronounced "the old". But likewise, there's some VAs that clearly only ever read a word, like in the newer God of War games where a character mangles "prescient".

google search "book_name epub"
This is rather terrible for supporting authors though. I read a lot of scifi from small authors who self publish on kindle direct publishing, and I would rather they get my money for their work. And yes I can pay then find the epub (and not all are available, due to small author), but the experience is then much worse.
Re: All Kindles can now be jailbroken
#176what are the main benefits of doing so? I'm missing what's the deal with jailbreak in this case, using thee transfer via USB? what's the best thing i can do afterwards?

Don’t they have a 12 month warranty? What do you want Amazon to do after more than 12 months? 10% discount is above and beyond their obligations.
It's completely reasonable to expect it to last longer than 12 months, especially considering this is their premium model.

Sad that 91kb is considered small.
Most websites are like 50mb, my dude.

Obviously, you haven't visited any colonial American sites. It used to be the normal spelling.
I've also seen the spelling used in old westerns, which I just so happened to be reading in jail.
