  • Well, the good news is you can always jailbreak your Kindle to install KOReader which plays nice with Wallabag.

    KOReader is basically a custom app that has much more integration and plug in compared to built in Kindle app.

    Think of your current Kindle UI as “default app” and KOReader as another app that’s much more powerful than Kindle app, and you can always switch between Kindle “app” and KOReader “app” at anytime so you don’t even lose any built in Kindle functionality.

    Personally I found KOReader to be super useful for these:

    • Dark mode on Kindle Paperwhite 3 which doesn’t support it natively

    • Use gesture to increase or reduce Kindle backlight

    • Connect to cloud storage to download books directly

    • Download article using RSS for web serial (shoutout to Pale lights) and basically read my web serial in Kindle

    • Set WiFi to be auto off when Kindle is sleeping and auto connect when out of sleep mode.

    Ah yes, I believed it’s a webapp packaged as app. And it still follows iOS style even on Android. But maybe I am just a simple guy who favours function over form, I always like simple and functional design over polish.

    True. I just wanted to add that comment just because the other poster make it sounds like PineTab2 is an alternative for Purism tablet - which is competing with iPads and Android tablet. It gave me false hope for a moment until I searched some reviews online and see it is a totally different device category.

    So I just replied to clarify just in case other people got the false impression too.
