Your own e-reader for £20! E-readers are expensive, but there exist millions of old Amazon Kindles at the back of kitchen drawers. Unfortunately, they're plumbed into the Amazon ecosystem. But fortunately, people have figured out how to break out of it! If you want to have an e-reader without the fancy bits, come and jailbreak your own Kindle 4 (2011) and take it home with you. Detached from the Amazon ecosystem, you can: download your own books and documents onto it, in any format (not just Amazon's proprietary one!); have a much more customisable experience with better font options, layout options, and personal lockscreens; and keep a more organised library of books. Finally, – and most importantly, – stop Amazon reaching into your pocket and changing what you own! We will follow mine and others' guides for jailbreaking a grey Kindle 4 2011 — which is a common old kindle flavour with WiFi, and no backlight or touchscreen — just like a book ;]. It ought to take less than an hour, but we leave some extra time for errors and experimentation. You will require: a laptop I will provide for each attendee: a Kindle 4 2011, which you can take home for £20 at the end; a micro USB data cable. You are welcome to bring a different Kindle version from home, but I have only personally jailbroken the Kindle 4 2011, so might not be able to help with a different or newer Kindle.
