So, having had one of these in my possession I'm now curious, is there any tweaks or jailbreaks for these? I couldn't find anything, it seems to only be Kindle 2 and up. Thanks!

The thing is 17 years old. It can't do a lot, and the wireless system is used is offline in most places, and likely to soon go offline in the places where it hasn't yet. You can load MOBI over USB and read those and that's about it.

It's my understanding that they have an external SD card slot, so there's that.

Yeah I saw MOBI worked, I was just surprised every hack seemed to only target K2 and up!

And it does have a SD card slot, it's pretty neat, too bad they never did it again

Because there was so little internal storage and an SD slot is about 50c.
Flash was expensive then.

Likely it's not worth replacing the battery (original release was 2007). It will soon be a museum item. It's one of only 4 Kindles that can't do the far better azw3.

No proper Greek (just enough for maths), no R to L languages, no Cyrillic. Only one each of Serif, sans and monospace. No embedded or user fonts.

Only Viziplex eink.

That mobi is a subset of HTML3, no CSS, no user fonts, no embedded fonts and was obsolete in 2005 when Amazon bought Mobipocket.

The Kindle 3 (Keyboard) is first decent Kindle as not only has it Pearl screen but later got an update to azw3/kf8 (based on HTML5 + CSS3) and then supported embedded fonts etc.

The Kindle 1, 2, DX and DXG are really poor compared to Sony of same age and the DXG only updated the screen, not RAM etc, so though it came out the same time as K3, it can't upgrade to azw3.

What's the difference between the Viziplex Eink and pearl ones?
