Hi sailors,

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

Kindle 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 is best for cracking/exploit/mod and overall just your opinion on it.

    Hot tip for anyone looking to save a little money and have an ad free experience on Kindle.

    I bought the Kindle with ads, saved like, $30 I think? Anyway, if you buy a Kindle with ads, set it all up and use it for a bit, contact Amazon support and say how you didn’t realize that it came with ads and that the ads are very intrusive or some other BS like that. They’ll tell you that you can pay a one time fee (once again, I think it was $30) to remove them. Just say something about how that’s awfully expensive , and keep saying how much you really love the device, but you think you’re going to return it because of the ads. The second you say you’d like to start the return process, they’ll panic and just say that, “good news, we’ve decided to remove the ads for you for free”.

    Obviously being nice and not an asshole is the way to go. Actually just don’t be an asshole to any support person. They don’t get paid enough to get treated like shit.
