Got this on my Kindle after the jailbreak came out in January. It's fantastic, especially the OPDB index + self hosted calibre-web means I can just download an epub on any device, drop it on a webpage, then search it on KOReader immediately. I did not want to use USB or Amazon's plumbing to transfer, so this is great. Tons of customization over the built-in reader.


How do you connect your Kindle to the internet to access OPDB/Calibre-web without losing your jailbreak?

Every time I connect my Kindle 4 to the internet, it disables developer mode and I have to rejailbreak. This is despite using an update disabler plugin (I've tested them all).


I used Winterbreak [0] and used the renameotabin extension to block updates.

It probably depends on your model, I jailbroke my paperwhite 7 (10-year old model) back in January, and it hasn't been reverted since, even though it's always connected to the internet.


Kual+ had an option to stop auto updates... KT4 here
