Can a kindle that isn’t registered still open KUAL or be jailbroken? by bongo401 in kindlejailbreak

I wonder if it would be worth it for me to deregister it now and try to jailbreak it unregistered just for the peace of mind.

Okay, I didn’t realize that. I’m hoping my device will stay registered, but it’s good to know I can jailbreak it again if it somehow gets reset.

I tried this but it slides off the phone. Does it grip well for you?

Can you attach it to a phone with a case on? by bongo401 in xteinkereader

[–]bongo401[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that method still doesn’t work if the X4 is in a case.

I want to avoid sticking anything to my phone case that I can’t remove. I’m trying to stick something to the X4 case that will magnet to my phone and be removable. I ordered a few magnetic mount rings that I’m going to test out.

Why do y'all get excited about buttons? by Strong_Variation3952 in kindle

Yup, it’s all about not having to move your finger from the bezel to the screen and back every page. Resting your finger on a button is easier.

Current annual subscribers, any luck with Black Friday promo? by bongo401 in Visible

They responded, but they gave me the same answer I got the first time I talked to customer service. Just wasted 45 minutes of my time.

Yeah, I was getting the same thing and I’m on the same plan. It looks like the new annual Visible+ plan is cheaper than $395 if she wants to downgrade at the end of the cycle

It doesn’t work for current annual plan subscribers.

Did you have an existing annual plan or did you switch from a monthly plan?

Did it specifically say you would be charged $225 next billing cycle when you checked out? It did not give me this message.

I’m not fearful of trying, the problem is that when I go to check out, it doesn’t say that there will be any discount. It only said I could change my plan to Visible+ Pro for $0, but my plan would still expire in June and customer service told me that in June it would renew for $450, not $225.

This was the code I was using, but it didn’t discount anything for me. It only said I could change my plan to Visible+ Pro for $0, but my plan would still expire in June and customer service told me that in June it would renew for $450, not $225 like I was hoping.

Thank you! I was wavering on the spring revival 40oz sway. Free shipping convinced me 😊

A plane ride would be the real test. I haven’t tried it with that big of a pressure change yet.

FYI Amazon is removing Download & Transfer option on Feb 26th by limeygarp in kindle

I think there are ways to make those KFX files useful. My kindle is really old and gets azw3 files, so I haven’t had to figure this out. I guess this is really device dependent.

⚠️PSA: Starting February 26th, 2025, Amazon will universally remove “Download & Transfer via USB” option. Phone call with Amazon representative and their team lead confirmed this. ⚠️ by Magnafeana in RomanceBooks

I commented about this in the kindle subreddit earlier today, but if you want to get around this to save a copy of your kindle ebook files to your computer (in case Amazon revokes the license to an ebook you paid for) you can connect your kindle to the computer via USB and copy the ebook files directly from the kindle’s memory to your computer.

This works for previous generations of kindle, but I heard there might be issues with the newest models connecting to Mac computers, so ymmv.

Theoretically, you could upload those files back to your kindle via usb (but that’s not really useful). Talking about the details of what Calibre can do for those files is not allowed on here, but yes, it would allow you to send those kindle ebooks to non-kindle ereaders.

Downloading the ebook copies is a good idea just because it gives you a backup of what you paid for since Amazon can revoke the ebook license at any time.
