    Kovid Goyal was extremely unhappy about python2 being sunsetted. He was pondering maintaining it himself at one point because it required such a re-write porting to python3.

      You can watch This Video by DammitJeff great video about jailbreaking kindle and showcasing KOreader’s various uses like Custom Lock Screen, Manga Reading, using Net Library / Calibre and much more using the plug-in Systems. The video can be used for Kobo reader too, I think.

    I installed Koreader on my Kindle Paperwhite 3 a couple months ago, and it has made me use my device so much more now. There’s only 3GB of storage to play with, so it’s not like I can carry my manga and comic libraries with me, but it’s breathed new life into my epub collection. Honestly, most useful upgrade I’ve made in a long time.

      Yeah, jailbreak and KOreader actually makes the device usable. I have one of the older ones so the screen is way too small for manga anyway, but at least i can use whatever the font I want and I can even change the default screensavers which is a nice addition.
