Fun Things to do with a locked Kindle E-Reader.

Amazon's Kindle e-readers just got a bit less useful, but help is at hand, from jailbreaking to making one of the devices into a monitor. The latest change to the copy-protection measures in the Kindle range, which Amazon made on February 26, has fans of electronic books concerned.

Specifically, the retailing giant removed the "Download & Transfer via USB" option from the Kindle e-book store. This is broadly comparable to the copy-protection on iPods and other iDevices: you are free to put your files onto the device, but not to copy those files off the device and onto your computer. <https://goodereader.com/blog/kindle/amazon-removing-download-and-transfer-on-the-kindle-feb-26th> This doesn't mean all Kindles are bricked. They still work fine, and if you don't buy your e-books from Amazon itself, you can still use Calibre to manage your library. Scripts exist for making a local copy of your Kindle collection, such as Yihong's Kindle download helper. <https://github.com/yihong0618/Kindle_download_helper> Alternatively, WinterBreak appeared at the start of the year and supports jailbreaking even recent models of Kindle on the latest firmware. Once the device is jailbroken, you can install your own reading or browsing software such as KOReader, allowing the Kindle to be used to read files in other formats. <https://koreader.rocks/> Modos is currently crowd-funding the development kit for its e-ink display. The controller software, codenamed "Caster", is FOSS and it's available on Github. A small, inexpensive controller board connects a PC to an e-ink panel over USB and offers a variety of display modes. <https://www.crowdsupply.com/modos-tech/modos-paper-monitor> <https://gitlab.com/zephray/caster>
