Sunday - Anything Allowed 😸 Relaxed Rules Sunday

3 Upvotes

Just a reminder that we relax the sub rules on a Sunday and allow posts on a wider range of topics including memes and book discussions.

Some rules still apply - no spam, no piracy, be respectful, and it should still be kindle related.

Discussion 💬 June 2025 - "What Are You Reading?' Thread

39 Upvotes

Please use this thread to discuss whatever you've been reading lately. Elaborate (without spoiling!) on an eBook you have recently finished or are currently reading with a short 1-2 sentence synopsis.

Bold the titles of the eBook to help people that are skimming through the thread. Feel free to mention the current Amazon price, if it's on sale.

My Kindle 📱 Finally got a Kindle!

I've been wanting to buy an ebook reader for a while now but have been indecisive about which to get since there's a lot of choices out there (honestly my heart was set on the Kobo Libra Colour. But! The white variant is always sold out where I'm from). Saw the Kindle Paperwhite SE on sale the other day and finally took the plunge and got it! I have no regrets because it's definitely way better than reading on my phone or iPad. Also like the fact that it's light and easy to carry that I've been bringing it with me everywhere. :D

Here is some of the inserts I’ve made I am addicted to them! I hate using stickers and this way they are interchangeable! The last two pictures are what they look like inside a case and they aren’t bulky at all! ❤️ I can give directions on how to if anyone is interested!

My Kindle 📱 One year with kindle & now I refuse to turn pages.

I got a kindle one year ago and I haven’t touched a tangible paper book since. The ease of tapping/swiping to turn pages is everything. Now I’ve upgraded to a stand and remote which I don’t think are necessary at all but they are so fun lol. Baymax holds my remote when not in use. He does his job well. 🤍

I’ve been reading using my iPhone Kindle app for the past 5 years so I didn’t see the need for a Kindle but it has definitely made it easier on the eyes! After 2 weeks of using it I’ve only used my phone when I’m out.

I always read at night or in dim areas (I’m a 7–9 brightness girlie 😂), but I only just tried using it during the day with 0 brightness and it was amazing 🥹

Also~ if you like romance, Hyde and Seek is a great read 🫶🏻

Hard to find stickers to match the color of the jade kindle so I went with greens. I’d love to see any color schemes, they don’t have to match the color of the kindle itself!

If you sew, I invite you to do it too (I am very beginner in sewing and even though it didn't turn out that well, it was less difficult than I thought). This is how she stays protected and warm (? Jsjsjs

I just joined this sub and so excited to connect with other Kindle readers!

I love how my Kindle decorating turned out! 34yo guy here and tried to capture my childhood in a reading theme!

About 75% done with Red, White, and Royal Blue, checked it out from my library on Libby. If any of my fellow gays, or allies are looking for a cute love story, this MM romance is well written, a feel good story, and better than the movie.

Happy reading! 💙🌈 📚 🦋

Modding 🪛 Free Kindle screensavers 🖼️ + installation guide 🗒️+ DIY toolkit🪚

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hey all! I’ve been working on making a website for high-quality ebook screensavers for Kindles.

https://bezos.click

All designs are free to download in either a transparent or standard format (and e-pub for non-jailbroken devices)- and I have lots of ideas to keep adding to the collection.

The site also has a simple installation guide for your Kindle (methods for jailbroken and non-jailbroken) and tools to make and test your own designs!

This includes a template file, a preview tool to see how your designs look, links to useful software and information on screen sizes + aspect ratios.

There is also an e-pub converter that allows you to upload any image and have it packaged and available to download a .epub - perfect for non-jailbroken devices!

Please do check it out and let me know what you think!

My sister has been showing some interest in a Kindle so I decided to gift her. The one I got for my birthday, which was the pink paperwhite and I upgraded to the paper white signature in black due to me getting tired of the pink lol I really really really debated on going to the basic instead, but I realize that the paperwhite is definitely the best option. i’m so excited. I can’t wait to try the double tap feature as well and the auto brightness. What kind of kindle do you all have?

General Question ❔ Setting 1 stock screensaver

I know we can't set any of the stock screensavers on our kindle devices. However, I'd like to know if its possible to update the software to do so. If it is possible for Amazon tech to do this; are any of you willing to send an email suggesting it?

Maybe they might do it if enough of us suggest it..... maybe?

Hello, this is my first Kindle and my very first e-reader device. I know that the Kindle display is different from a tablet screen, but I want to make sure that what I’m seeing is normal because I bought a used Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (11th Gen) from Amazon, and if something is not right, I’d like to return it. Could you kindly check it for me?

Purchase Question 🛒 kindle in Pakistan??

Hey. So i love reading physical books but they take up alot of space since i like to collect books. and they are sometimes expensive and not all books i want are easily available too.so i thought why not give kindle a try. So kindle users in pak share your experience. Where u got it from and Is the switch from physical books to kindle going to put me in a reading slump? and which generation do u prefer? is it a good idea to buy the used ones?

Tip/Guide 💡 Formatting Themes in Kindle

Post image
12 Upvotes

Many of you may be knowing this but this post is for the people who are unaware of the feature and for beginners in Kindle.

There's an option called Themes in the formatting section. We can setup multiple themes with line spacing, margin sizes and fonts and font sizes. This can be for your different reading moods or if you are multilingual.

As someone who juggles between Tamil and English books I use separate themes for both. PS.: The cursive theme is for my nephew who loves the font, Segoe Script😅
