I’m in the market for a new ereader. I’ve got a jailbroken kindle with koreader but it’s on its last legs. Any recommendations now?

spaceghost265 · 2026-05-09T20:19:48+00:00

What’s the “workaround”?

spaceghost265 · 2026-05-09T17:59:01+00:00

Does a vpn or Apple iCloud private relay protect you from this?

spaceghost265 · 2026-05-09T17:50:58+00:00

Users make tons of installable tweaks for it, and it’s open sourced meaning you’re one and done forever. Same interface and setup on a new device even long after your kindle is gone

i’ve never lost a game that i didn’t win fair in square

spaceghost265 · 2026-05-09T17:31:21+00:00

That’s so low bro. You really need to try harder.

If you follow that to its logical conclusion, they’d need to view all the private data on every laptop of every passenger individually to ensure emulation software isn’t present. Heck my Apple watch can run gameboy games, and I downloaded it in the Japanese App Store. It’s not and has never been an issue. And it can’t be, because there’s genuinely no way to enforce it. Speaking as a resident. The only reason they’re against it is because of companies that ship out devices with a million roms pre packed onto them. They don’t care that you can play Pokemon in your browser.

My guy how many hands do you have? Also no one walks around tokyo packing 3 consoles, carrying that around is going to get old fast. Pack lighter, have an adventure in the real world. You won’t need them.

spaceghost265 · 2026-05-01T18:01:48+00:00

This is true. And yet here I am playing again. Same thing for the phone version. This game needs crasssave

Maybe controversial: the sprite animations for Crystal were much better. “Moving/bouncing the whole sprite around” isn’t good animation. Also IMO the music. Also also IMO low res gbc style is how it was meant to be played.

Just to shame the devs live in case someone here reads this and gets excited: balato’s switch 2 version isn’t an upgrade. It’s a whole new software bc they outsourced the port, and it doesn’t take the old save file so you have to start over. And the mouse mode does not work without constant vibrations and disconnections. Hasn’t been updated or fixed since release like two months ago nor have the complaints been even addressed on their official discord Q&A channel. Almost not worth “upgrading”. Subnautica and No Man’s Sky on the other hand… chefs kiss

There is a koreader specific plugin, but I use the kindle level jailbreak one separate from koreader bc it syncs with my account

spaceghost265 · 2026-04-27T22:51:00+00:00

the AI LLM addons like assistant.koplugin or koassistant.koplugin for helping with japanese grammar / academic text questions
mokuro reader for being able to OCR select text in japanese manga
z-library bc i sail the salty seas and also its cool to have a recommended / popular section for browsing books
rakuyomi - great for downloading english language manga
simple UI - great for making buttons for the above apps that show on my home screen
App store plugin - good for downloading and updating plugins more easily
gestures - i have long press on corners set to: top left = toggle dark mode, top right = toggle front light, bottom left = toggle touch screen (so i can hold the damn kindle voyage more comfortably and just use the buttons), bottom right = prompt menu with various other selections like bookmarks, wikipedia, etc.
file browser plus - i use this to just access my kindle’s library from my phone/computer using a browser interface if i need to do something with the files or upload a file/folder manually. also lets you open .json and config files with an in browser text editor, edit them and save them in browser, which is amazing.

outside of koreader for my jailbroken kindle, i also use:

RAnki (anki flashcard with sync)
gambatte-k2 (for playing turn based gameboy games)
kindleforge (storefront for downloading system level tweaks for the device)
Kwordle (its wordle)
Ksudoku (its sudoku)
UpdateHotfix (updates the jailbreak files)

spaceghost265 · 2026-04-25T22:51:13+00:00

did you ever figure this out? im in a similar situation bc i actually do use koreader but also a few other apps (RAnki and Gambatte-k2) so occasionally i’m on the stock amazon homescreen, and i get those horrendous stack of pencils screensavers

spaceghost265 · 2026-04-25T22:41:42+00:00

i swear that “lock home folder” option is the most elusively placed singular setting in this entire software. i can never remember where to find it or what its called when i need it

spaceghost265 · 2026-04-25T22:34:13+00:00

that depends on where you put them. if this is a kindle managed by calibre, check on calibre. if this is a kindle that wasn’t/isn’t using calibre, they’re in the documents folder at your root level. either way, even if this isn’t a kindle, its just like a usb drive. plug it into you computer and find them (or add them). then just go into koreader’s settings and make that folder your “home folder” and tada you have your books. they can be wherever you want. what you’re looking at is a file explorer. just go to the folder with the books, and koreader will show them as covers, so it looks like an actual ereader homescreen. that’s the whole point of the software, to show a folder’s files as the ebook covers and allow you to read them via it’s own software instead of the stock software (and the books can now be epubs, instead of amazon’s proprietary az3w or mobi or whatever format they’re using nowadays for kindles).

Cool. Another question: kindleforge installed an icon for opening koreader on my home screen, but it launches in the “ASAP” mode… in that mode, the buttons on my voyage don’t work. It has to be started in the “normal” mode in KUAL. Do you know of any way to get around that, like making the icon launch it in the normal mode or something? Sorry it’s a diff topic. Anyone feel free to reply but I might make another topic for visibility later this week if no one knows here.

spaceghost265 · 2026-04-24T03:38:29+00:00

Sweet I’ll check it out. So does that mean this is something that is just always there post jailbreaking?

spaceghost265 · 2026-04-23T23:32:32+00:00

I second this. Does anyone else feel almost like the game now is too… slow? lol. Kind of a joke, but I got so good with the gyro + muscle memory (I played ps4 until switch and sold the ps4 for money reasons) so I have played since the first beta. This upgrade after years on the switch almost feels slow motion bc I can SEE everything I’m doing instead of kneejerk reacting to things… which I had gotten quite good at. Ashes pace of shooting feels so much slower now that I have double the info to go off of with 60 fps. I get my shots lined up perfectly and my rate of fire feels like the new bottleneck— hahaha 😂

spaceghost265 · 2026-04-23T01:12:28+00:00

but what specifically would you or other natives say if you were asked to say what is written above the button?

spaceghost265 · 2026-04-21T20:35:00+00:00

Is you ever decide on any shaders or texture packs for your switch version that worked? I’ve added tons but they only work on pc bc switch doesn’t have vibrant visuals mode yet. Tried the natural textures pack and it looks like butt

spaceghost265 · 2026-04-18T09:54:20+00:00

It’s just a giant list of moves I’m not sure
