In an interesting turn, when I updated NJ's tablet to make sure it used our DNS, it blocked usage pings to #Amazon. And that is excluding any such data from individual apps.

This is marketed as a kids tablet, but it's really just a tablet with parental controls (which are needed).

Well, they won't get her usage stats from home now, which is where the vast majority of her usage is.

#Amazon is dropping support for old #Kindle and #KindleFire devices. I wonder if this is something that @postmarketOS would be able to support, given the devs that would be interested in supporting these devices considering the age and capabilities of these devices.

After finishing my 25th book of the year, the next ebook that I will be reading will be After the Funeral by Agatha Christie

Nineteen books into the year so far and it’s time for one of those books that you have to read because people that read books tell you that you have to read this book! My next download onto my Kindle (other ebook readers are available) is going to be Crime and Punishment

Once again on my shit (trying to read epubs on my Kindle Fire). This time I decided to download a different app that can read epubs, then I just need to download or copy the files in. Easy!

Managed to log in to kobo account in the browser, then tried to download the epubs. Nope, it failed and they went nowhere (after an abortive attempt to open them with Overdrive). Then I downloaded the epub on my computer, plugged Fire into my computer, exposed the filesystem, then tried to copy file into one of several folders. Failed with alert noise but no visible alert.

Like, is FireOS just locking down the filesystem now? It doesn't show me files in any of the folders, either.

I'm guessing it's not really a bug in the Kindle as many tech forums have said. I'm thinking good old #Amazon is not properly updating #OneNote on older #KindleFire tablets.

As a reminder you'll need to figure out how to allow the Kindle Fire to accept sources outside of the Amazon App store. There's tons of forums on how to do that.
