I've read some fanfic and the main reason that I don't read more is the average person writing fanfic has no idea of what canon is. Yes, place your fiction in the 1632 universe—quite a few of the authors who were paid for their contribution to the Grantville Gazette started writing 1632 fan fiction. But for the love of whatever deities you happen to believe or not believe in, stop adding non-canon items (one fanfic added fighter jets and their support structure). Ditto for many other fanfics I've looked at. If you are going to play in someone else's universe, pay attention to their universe building. </rant> |

Just that I do see a lot of readers finding that reading fanfic on their smart phones is becoming problamatic as they get older. So more and more are looking at eInk devices that they can sideload and not bother with going through a storefront. They don't want the storefront. There are a lot of people, with a lot to read in a legit way, to make understanding a device's limitations when it comes to loading a legit question. |

Of course. I also sideload everything, even my legally purchased books (which comprise the majority of my ebook library). I do it because I edit the metadata and formatting of every ebook I own, and I want that metadata + formatting on my ereaders. So I sideload. But I don't mind registering my ereaders, although I never download anything directly from the store.

Why not register to enable everything and then just keep WiFi off?
I have a registered PW3 that has the WiFi off. |

I have just got the Scribe from Prime Day ( 2024 ) and was able to bypass the setup process by connecting to captive wifi " xfinitywifi" then entering in browser ";demo" and following LanguageBreak JB.
After that was able to install Kual and KOReader I have never connected to Amazon kindle Scribe with working KOreader all offline. |

I bought a new Kindle Paperwhite on sale from Target a couple weeks ago. Build date was 4/2024. It had an old firmware version. I upgraded to 5.16.2.1.1 as suggested by LanguageBreak and successfully jailbroke it. Be Happy!

Yes, there are cases like that. It is impossible to predict that newer build will have older FW. Only truth left is that older builds will definitely have older FW.
So, hunt for 322X or lower in the third group in the serial number (eBay etc), make sure the box is sealed. |
