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.

According to another post here, is done so the kindle doesn't overwrite the cover of each book
