Hi sailors,
I'm trying to get into the habit of reading but books are often expensive and cumbersome.
However I don't particularly like reading on my phone screen since I'll get distracted eventually.
So, e-readers seems to me a perfect fit. It's tech enough that I find it interesting. Not too expensive. Gorgeous paper white display.
So, essentially what I want to know is, which kindle (or other device) is best for cracking/exploiting/moding, and overall just your opinion on it.
Edit3: I've decided I'll buy a paperwhite kindle (2020 version). I found a 2nd hand one, like new, for 80€ with a screen protector + magnetic cover.
This way I'm still not supporting amazon :)
Edit 2: I'm from the EU 🇪🇺 so, if you have EU specific tips it'd be great.
Also my country doesn't really care about piracy so I'm not really worried about VPNs
Edit: I didn't expect so many people to reply! Thanks everyone!
Also I don't remember writing half of the things on this post? Might just install a monoxide detector...
If some admin edited it, thanks. It's a lot clearer now, probably why it got so much traction.
You can sideload on to any kindle.
Paperwhite (non-SE) is the version to go for. They go on sale every month or two, check camelcamelcamel.

Have fun.
Akshully, get the Paperwhite Kids. Like $10 more than the ad supported version, no ads, free cover/case, 2 year accidental protection warranty instead of just one year manufacturer warranty. Just be sure to cancel the free trial of the kids service.
They just fixed this. They raised the price of the kids version, ads turn back on if you turn kids mode off.
Ah, didn't realize this. I never connected mine to WiFi
I just called Amazon and complained about the ads, they turned them off. I am Amazon prime though
