I prefer koreader instead of nickel (the default Kobo interface) so heavily that I consider it inconceivable to use the latter now.

The less important reason is that koreader is just straight faster in every aspect. This includes opening books, turning pages etc. But more importantly, the default interface is centered around trying to sell you books which I absolutely despise. I don’t went to be advertised to on the hone screen of an expensive device that I bought with my hard earned money.

I bought the Kobo when I used to live in North America. They are not available in India where I am now.

I’m looking into buying a Kindle on the condition that it can be jailbroken and I can install koreader on it. But I haven’t been able to guarantee that a brand new one will have a firmware version low enough that it can be jailbroken. Also looking at other alternatives.

I think I have a Kindle 4 laying around which I have jailbroken. I don’t use it at all. If you tell me how to check the version number you need to know I can send it to you for free (just pay shipping costs if they’re not too high for you). I guess the battery is pretty dead nowadays as it’s laying around for years now and I only occasionally charge it.
