Run software they don't approve of. Like alternate reading apps that don't need you to pipe everything through an Amazon account, read formats they don't support, etc.
Hi. Thank you for the info.
I am looking for a new e-reader. Is there any reason why I should buy a Kindle and jailbreak it rather than get a PineNote, SuperNote, Nook device, Boox device, or a Kobo Libra?
Or would you recommend something else?
I was looking at the PineNote myself, but they stopped selling the developer version due to low demand. I'm afraid that it won't be back until those who do own it finish writing the software for it.
Oh... I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know.
