Do any of the hacks that are currently out work on Kindle 3?
I'm interested in a more font hack and a screensaver hack, but they both say they are for software v 2.5 and my kindle says that it is software v3.0. Also, has anyone ever found a hack that makes the screensaver the cover of the current book?

No existing hacks work for the Kindle 3 currently.

Are we optimistic that some bright person will figure out a jailbreak soon?

That said, Apple and the various phone manufacturers have much more to lose from the ability for people to break into their devices and they've not been successful in preventing that from happening so far... |

Amazon's aggressive anti-jailbreaking counter-measures (with each major firmware update) is growing a little tiresome. Why try so hard to prevent someone from voiding their warranty?
Looks like I'll be sticking with my K2 for as long as I can. |

You can't even guarantee that the Kindle owner knows its been hacked as a friend or family member may have done it for them and they won't know what was done. I'm just saying that I understand why Amazon are doing it. I would of course prefer if they didn't though. |

I'm really hoping that someone comes up with a font hack--I want to replace the horrible Korean font!

That is the something I don't understand about Amazon, Sony, and the other reader manufacturers. The most often requested feature seems to be more font choices. It wouldn't be that difficult for these companies to design readers with a font folder and the ability to load more fonts. Yet they are unwilling to do this! It also would not be difficult for Amazon to allow us to add/delete screen images, or for that fact just toggle them OFF.
It still strikes me as odd that ebook reading software designed a decade ago for PDAs had more user formatting controls than any dedicated ebook reader I've owned has ever had! Last edited by jswinden; 09-04-2010 at 12:52 PM. |
