    Thank you so much for informing us about this release and putting out a detailed guide so quickly! I got this to work on my final gen Kindle Oasis, and now it’s my perfect e-reader with KOReader exactly how I like it. Installing it with you step by step made this feel so much less scary lol!

    I am so glad to have found your video! I used a previous video of yours to install Koreader in my old kobo. And I was very excited when I heard that the kindles with the higher firmware were finally able to be jailbroken. I tried on my own and it didn't work out. But I found your video and followed you step by step and it worked! I did have trouble with installing KUAL but I finally got there. Thanks for pointing out with koreader version to run since I probably wouldn't know to use which nightly file. Thank you again! I am so happy to finally have koreader on my kindle!

    Awesome! First time jailbreaker here, and it worked. And I just bought the latest paperwhite, even a few weeks ago, and I was scared to try this jailbreak, but I followed the instructions carefully, and it worked. Thank you! Now, I've never used KOReader but am excited, and it's why I did this. I heard good things about it, but now all my books are in kfx and are still in the kindle, so I would love to see a tutorial for how to start using KOReader. But thank you very much for this excellent tutorial. All the best. -P.S. I tried to send epubs to my kindle now using calibre, but it doesn't work. I changed my device from kindle to generic e-ink or tablet but it didn't help. Is there a way?

    • @svartling
      @svartling  21 день тому

      Check my playlist called KOReader on my channel. You can get a lot of help there. For example how you should send epub books wirelessly now to KOReader.

    • @unrollin9352
      @unrollin9352 21 день тому

      @svartling Will do! By the way, is it OK to occasionally turn on the wifi to download the dictionaries from the koreader app? Or is there a risk for amazon updates?

    • @svartling
      @svartling  21 день тому

      Start by watching all my videos about koreader and you will learn a lot. Koreader needs its own library of books. You send them wirelessly from calibre easily. Or adding epub files to a folder on the kindle and make it the home page in koreader.

    • @svartling
      @svartling  21 день тому

      If you have followed the whole tutorial thenAmazon OTA updates is turned off. That is the last step in my video. You need wifi for all great features in koreader. Like wireless progress sync to all koreader devices. Or calibre integration.

    Thank you. Jailbreak seemed to work all the process.Unfortunately when I tried to install KOReader KUAL couldn't launch. It seems Amazon installed a nuw update just at the end of the process and there's no way right now to install again nothing of the tutorial utilities. Which firmware version Kindle show to you in settings?

    • @svartling

      KOReader can’t use kindle KFX files and you should not use the same library of books so you have to create a new library in KOReader for KOReader. Check my channel for more tips and help about KOReader

      You can jailbreak new kindles but please note that it’s very easy to brick them so they get unusable. You will be responsible for that and I am sure it will not go under warranty

    I already jailbroken my Kindle. I thought afterwards it is possible to remove the ads and set a book cover as screensaver, but i can't find the option in the menu. Any hints?

    • @svartling
      @svartling  21 день тому

      If you use KOReader that is not a problem. Because it always sets the book cover as the screensaver and doesn’t have any ads. So after jailbreak I recommend installing KOReader and use that for your library of books and reading. Otherwise I don’t have any tips for removing ads.

      It’s recommended to exit if you mean using cable. But wirelessly transfer is what I recommend. See here how to do it:

    • @svartling

      This brand new jailbreak you need to have a registred kindle. How to remove I don’t know at the moment. You can Google to find info. Or check the link with the guide for more info. The reason with a jailbreak is to get free from Amazon. You don’t need to use them anymore.
