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.
With my ad-free paper white, there’s a magnet in the case that lines up with a sensor in the kindle.
You open the cover, and it’s right where you left off.
With the ad supported version, you’d open the cover, and have to push the button to dismiss the ad.
IIRC, that behavior still persists even if the ads expire.
Huh. Yeah that seems to be a thing with newer models. Mine doesn’t have any magnets, and its not in a shape a case would even make sense. I do press a button to dismiss the “screensaver” (the thing that keeps you from accidentaly turning pages with side buttons when note in use), but I don’t see an ad on that screensaves. It’s pencils laying on a book, and has been for about a decade now.
This is how the case works.
With the ad supported kindle, there would be another screen showing the ad before you could use it.
Not a huge deal, but it does get a little annoying
It basically prevents you from being able to use the feature of the case
The ads were a lot less noticeable on the older kindles with the keyboard
Oh that’s interesting. That makes sense. Like I said I’m using the Kindle 4 from 2011 and it has a slightly different form factor and no way to use a magnetic case.
