I'm going to buy a kindle paperback (I've never had one), and I'm sure I'm not going to buy any books for it. What mods/steps/other stuff do you guys suggest to set it up?

if you want to jailbreak it, there’s a spreadsheet somewhere detailing which models to avoid

but honestly, before i figured out i could jailbreak mine, i was just using it in airplane mode 24/7 and transferring stuff over usb with the EXCELLENT software Calibre. highly highly recommend! the only benefit i get from the jailbreak is that i can use a more customizable reader (fonts, margins, night mode), and that i can now transfer stuff from Calibre over wi-fi without having to create an amazon account. bliss!

airplane mode 24/7

Highly suggest people do this if they are transferring books using calibre. Connecting to WiFi removes book covers, keeping it in airplane mode should prevent this!

It also helps to reduce battery usage in my experience, but that might be a coincidence
