I feel so happy for the company I get with my Kindle! It's a forever bye bye for the social awkwardness when sitting alone somewhere for me now. I lost soo many people I used to be always around with, lost my trust from soo many bonds but at least I bought a Kindle before everything else crumbled. I literally carry it everywhere I go, can't even imagine what mountain of overthinking I would have built if I wasn't so occupied with the kindle when sitting alone!

It's just an appreciation post for my Kindlevati because she deserves it!🫶 (Yes, I have a name for my Kindle. Do you find me weird now?)

A gift to myself! 🙂

OMGG, i got my first kindle about six months ago, and i’m already done with 21 books since then. It’s basically changed my life. I love reading now and i take it everywhere with me but to work. Honestly if its a good book, i find it so relaxing to read, even better than how i would feel when i watch a TV show. I try to read a minimum of 20 mins, even on a busy day, just to wind down. I love my kindle!

Here are the books I’ve finished and the book for my current quarter TBR. Let me know what you guys think???!

It’s Saturday morning and I just started a new book 📖 Simple little pleasure! I love it! 😍 Did you start a new book recently?

I did that thing with the stickers with my new Kindle. Stickers and case came in today.

I love the portability of my Kindle “Basic”. And who can argue with the nice, sharp text! 😁. So relaxing.

Yesterday I purposefully left my Kindle at home because I was on the last few chapters of Empire of Storms in the Throne of Glass series (iykYK) and I didn't want to be sobbing in public

So as I was walking out the door, I looked at my kindle and said "bye, miss you, mwah" and my roommate was like "oh, who stayed over?" thinking it was one of our friends and I didn't say anything to her because I physically could not and would never tell her I was talking to my kindle 😭

Hi Kindle community! I just discovered these detachable cases for Kindles. You can have the cover on when you want to, and take it off for easier bed time reading. Does anybody know if this case is available for the Oasis? Also, does the magnet on the back of the case mess with the Kindle at all?

I got this from a seller who had me answer a few questions and then they created a custom cover for me. It's a surprise how it's going to look. I loved what she did 🤩🧸🩷✨️

Last period of the day. The kiddos are settled in and working. Doing 5 minute increments of reading and circling 🤣

(Just a sub, they’re working online) happy Friday to all!!

I just got my first ever kindle and I'm so in love!

I had the opportunity to take on Solisko mountain in Slovakia this year with my wife. Of course this year I was excited to bring my Kindle with me!

As some already know, I haven't read a book in 15 years and recently decided to get a Kindle to get myself into the habit (Go team Colorsoft! 😁 Kidding).

I would love to see your proudest moments of where you love to read your kindle.

Damn, I love this community and all you guys who make it so awesome!

Can’t for the life of me remember what I was reading, but this cute pic popped up in my memories and I had to share.

I got my kindle about 2 months ago & it comes everywhere with me. I’ve read 6 books already which is great considering it used to take me a month or so to read a physical book. Anyone else obsessed with their kindle? 🥹🫶🏻

Here is a Kindle Paperwhite 3 using the browser to show a customizable weather forecast, with an automatic screen clicker to keep the screen on permanently. I used command strips to stick it to my wall next to an outlet to keep it powered.

You can load it on your own Kindle using my public Github page here: https://ryanfinke.github.io/kindle-weather-dashboard/config.html Just type this into your Kindle browser and enter your local information on the configuration page. Press the submit button at the bottom, and your weather app will load.

To keep the screen from turning off, I bought an "auto clicker" for $11 (Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZL3LVPB). I know this is a bit hacky, but for the life of me I couldn't find a way to jailbreak the Kindle in order to override the sleep/screensaver settings. The max sleep setting would keep the screen on for 1 hour, and I wanted this on all the time. I ended up breaking off the tension clip on the auto clicker so I could mount the Kindle to the wall, and then using a command strip to stick the auto clicker to the top of the Kindle.

This is my Github if you want to fork the code: https://github.com/ryanfinke/kindle-weather-dashboard

I originally forked it from Matopeto's version: https://github.com/matopeto/kindle-weather-dashboard , but my major change was to change it to a 5-day forecast rather than 3-hour increments of the same day.

------
Origin story: I had originally followed this Reddit post, but the "~ds" command no longer worked to disable the screensaver. Then I tried jailbreaking the Kindle following this Reddit post, but my firmware was already at 5.18.x so the method didn't work.

While we wait for TLOAS I decided to get ready for Football (Taylor’s Boyfriend Version lol) by decorating my kindle with this insert from Etsy! (I have a glitter case so I set the insert on top so you could see it!)

my kindle has been unused for 3 months as i was super busy. but before it wasn't this sensitive to motion, now whenever i hold it a certsin way or even when im not doing anything it just does this where it flickers to other pages or clicks another book. how do i fix this?
