Anyone with a amazon #kindle paperwhite 3 (2015, 7th Gen) who would be interested in installing #Linux 6.15 and getting rid of nearly all the Amazon bits?
I'm now looking for brave alpha testers to dig out their old kindle and test installation scripts (there is a chance of bricking which could be rescued by tapping the serial lines)
Let me know if you are interested.
@smallsolar i have a paperwhite but not sure what the version, it's one with a frontlight
will have a look when i get home
can this be reverted to stock? (i don't have an Amazon account and all my books are downloaded from elsewhere, just need to retain the functionality of reading books)
@mavica_again not yet implemented a backup system. The current installation overwrites the kernel but we should be able to backup it up and rewrite it, just need to identify where the kernel sits in the memory (I know where it starts, need to work out where it ends).
So not yet but will be possible
@smallsolar i dug it out and it's a dp75sdi which seems to be the exact model you need!
i'm interested in trying if there's any way i can image/back up what's already there, not squeamish at all to crack it open and prod at serial lines
