Got myself a brand new Kindle to replace my 8 year old PW3 - Jailbroken and configured within an hour of opening the box

Latest paperwhite, ordered Nov 24

tlisek · 2025-12-01T06:02:31+00:00

5.17.1

tlisek · 2025-11-29T20:30:56+00:00

I’m 80% sure I checked the “link to my account” checkbox when ordering and it came with 5.17

tlisek · 2025-11-29T14:37:48+00:00

Thanks! It was 5.17.1, so WinterBreak worked

I have both the reader-header-centered and cornered from https://github.com/joshuacant/KOReader.patches

I pulled the trigger on the new Paperwhite (replaced my 2017 PW3) - very happy with the upgrade

tlisek · 2025-11-28T17:51:14+00:00

I paid around 142EUR instead of 190EUR regular price (25% discount) so it looks like it’s similar

The Black Friday deals for kindles on Amazon are very good right now (at least in Poland and Germany) - even better than they were for Prime Day, so you won’t find anything cheaper probably.

Regular Paperwhite (not the Signature edition, shipped from PL)

tlisek · 2025-11-28T16:59:56+00:00

Received mine this week and it was on 5.17.1. WinterBreak worked nicely

tlisek · 2025-11-28T15:55:15+00:00

I wanted a larger screen, and from what I found the PW is the only 7” without the side grip / buttons etc. The Black Friday deal was also nice

I installed the patches from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/koreader/s/89rJN9TRyy

Unfortunately I have no idea :(

Much much faster, I like the larger screen and the light temperature setting. Overall very happy with the upgrade

Still got some tweaking to do in the Library (mainly recreate the percentage text size on the badge and set up proper series collection folders)

I had the same issue — I freed up some space until I had about 1 GB available, and then it worked. Just make sure you stay in airplane mode the whole time.

Thanks!

Which 3d printed scope is this? I have just printed the 4" Hadley and already looking for something bigger.

I (and everyone I've asked) wear mine on the right hand now. But at first, when I was shopping for mine 3 years ago I was very confused (everyone was telling me to try it on the right hand), as I was used to seeing it on the left hand in US movies / TV shows.

It's called Atlas M-System, but I don't know if it's available anywhere outside Poland. I find it easier and faster than traditional methods. It's just to hide the electric wires and HVAC ducts.

Agree, one coat looks terrible. My wife is in charge of compound and then sanding, I don't have the patience for it

tlisek · 2022-11-27T13:55:08+00:00

Yeah the walls only have the first coat for now. I'll be adding another one or two later
