Ive been getting back to reading myself. Media's become so overstimulating

Same I just bought a used kindle and jail broken it so now I have a huge library to go through and I have downloaded a bunch of movies and tv shows to my media server as well

Does the jailbreak allow you to use z-lib or Anna's archive as the "store"?

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Directly on the device no, but I can start my Calibre server and connect to it from my Kindle wirelessly through KOreader to transfer the books

I had a book once that had a full color spread for the movie in the middle of the book. Obviously this was a skippable ad, but still, it’s inescapable.

I've been collecting old books for years. Currently slogging through Mellives collection of stories printed in 1968. Could find a copy of the book turned movie, printed before the movie?

Some of those old books had ads for cigarettes in them! Mostly the cheaper paperbacks. For some reason it wasn't as annoying, it was more of a historical artifact, an indication of the context in which the book was originally read.

yeah that's actually pretty dope lol

I've found old textbooks from the 30's with handwritten notes in them :D

history is cool
