As an old school doom mapper from the 90s, it absolutely isn’t. You build a room, apply F_SKY1 to the ceiling, and that’s it. The engine renders it more like a wall, but it’s not a traditional skybox in that it doesn’t exist in the level geometry outside of the room it’s applied to.
Soulseek. I’ll search a band I like, then browse the directories of other people with similar taste.
I’m pretty sure I tried the desktop app method at some point. Didn’t work at all for me but I can’t recall why.
Oh it’s an absolute slog for sure. And I can’t even guarantee it still works. I wouldn’t have even tried if I didn’t happen to chance upon a suitable device. Definitely wouldn’t recommend paying eBay prices for one just to do this.
I’ve done this successfully, but you need to jump thru quite a few hoops. These instructions are for Kindle only. I think dedrm can cope with Nook encryption but I don’t know how to do it. It was a while ago now, but to the best of my recollection:
I’m not totally sure all this still works. You’re honestly probably better off getting a Boox device and downloading stuff from Anna’s Archive or similar.
Opensuse because I like green.
Jailbreak + screensaver hack. It’s possible on most models there’s a jailbreak for. Master list is here: linky
Use of archive.org may be required, the link rot is a very real problem.
I like it. Here’s mine.
You’d probably also enjoy The Laundry Files. Math is magic, and while you -can- do it in your head, using computers is a lot safer and more efficient. Includes such gems as a basilisk gun integrated into CCTV camera systems.
Article is inaccurate. NewsCorp isn’t journalism.
Now I remember why I don’t pay attention to 7 news. This article is an ad in itself.
Fairly sure it’s in the cookies somewhere. When I used gamdl I exported them using this firefox addon … that was a while ago tho.

This is the one valid use of that “tip screen” what’s his name proposed the other day.
The specs are insane, but you can’t use it because the servers it needs to phone home to don’t exist yet.
So here is the jailbreak thread for the paperwhite, and here is the master list for other models.
There used to be Duokan, which was an OS-replacement. I can’t for the life of me find an install image. If you do, let me know. I’d like to try it out.
And in my searching just now I’ve also come across fread-ink (project on hold since 2020), inkbox (mostly for Kobo devices, but some kindle support) and an old hackaday article about HOPE XII which I can’t find any further information on.
Best of luck freeing your Kindle!
I have jailbroken a couple of old e-ink kindles, and as far as I know, custom ROMs just straight don’t exist any more. There have been a couple of attempts, some successful, but the device is so old they’ve pretty much fallen off the internet. The base OS is Linux, around a 2.6 kernel, and I’m fairly sure everything apart from the bootloader is just on relatively unprotected flash memory. Aside from the reader software it’s a pretty standard Linux. To the point where one of mine actually runs an old Debian chroot.
I’m not near my PC now, but I’ll link the jailbreak forums when I can. You’ll need a fair bit of technical knowledge and judicious use of archive.org, the link rot is a very real problem.
Yeah I have started getting this recently. No idea why, I barely even use the site.
