Kindle Is Making It Harder to Switch to Rival eReader Brands. (www.howtogeek.com)

On February 26th, Kindle customers will lose the ability to download eBook purchases directly to their PC. If you want to switch to a rival eReader brand in the future, I suggest that you use the soon-to-be discontinued "Download and Transfer via USB" feature to archive your Kindle library.

Please pass it forward: all Kindles can now be jailbroken

What can I do with a jailbroken kindle that makes it worth doing instead of just using calibre?

I switched from the default reader to koreader, and now I have dark mode (mine is probably about 8 years old and did not originally have this feature). Koreader has so many features and qol improvements compared to the default Kindle experience.
