    I guess if you already own a Kindle then you might be interested in jailbreaking it. But for someone choosing an ereader it seems that Kobo is just a better choice. Isn’t it? Like, why pay to put yourself in a jailed system in the first place?

      My kindle could already handle everything the Kobo I was looking at could do, but was far cheaper than the Kobo due to a sale (and Amazon thinking I’m dumb enough to be locked into their system)

      Literally using Calibre is enough to turn your Kindle into a piracy machine, so if you can get one cheap it’s long been my recommendation for people

      Haven’t done a thorough research so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems in my country kindles are significantly cheaper than kobos.
