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.

    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.
