Years ago I had a kobo and put kohreader on it. But I left it on a bus and got a kindle Paperwhite as a replacement. I definitely regret that and second this comment: kohreader is such a superior experience. I'll never again get an ereader that can't run it.

If it's a years old paperwhite I'm sure you can run it :). Only the latest model is difficult.

Maybe you're right. It definitely wasn't possible a couple of years ago but I'll look into it again, thanks.

There was a new jailbreak released quite recently which was quite painless to go through. IIRC it's called Sanctuary.

The only problem is if your device is connected to wifi and has updated to new firmware.

My Kindle has never connected to the internet. Thanks for the info, I'll look into it.
