Also if you’re trying to buy ebooks elsewhere, check out ebooks.com

And sign up for FREE to use your local public library’s ebook subscriptions too!

Successfully jailbroke my old #Kindle, installed KOReader, and downloaded a bunch of books from my Calibre server. Next is to connect it with my KOReader sync server so that I can take around my InkPalm 5 with my progress and highlights synced across my devices.
