> is available for all but the most up-to-date Kindles

Bought one from eBay to try it out. Silly me connected it to wifi and suddenly it’s up to date and no longer breakable

If you want a cheap rooted eReader I think you're better off getting a Kobo instead, they don't officially support rooting but AFAICT they make basically no effort to prevent it.

+1 to a Kobo, they cheaper and better than Kindles, with full Calibre support (https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre - OSS which has been in development for ~20 years!).

The way you install additional software is literally just moving files into folders whilst its plugged into your computer. I'm sure it could handle Tailscale.

I use the Calibre support, but did not know you could install additional software that easily!
