One of my biggest regrets from the past few years was losing the habit of reading books. All the usual excuses: child to look after, too tired, not enough time…

I didn’t read a ton, but I had an average of 30 books a year. Last year I must have read 6. This year in early April I was at 0… and the realization shook me to my core.

Something had to be done.

I found out about KOreader and SimpleUI - having on an e-reader homepage a bar with reading stats would be an incredible motivator… I thought.

Jailbroke my #Kindle, installed #KOreader and #SimpleUI. And 18 days later I have… an 18 day reading streak and I’m averaging 43 minutes of reading time per day. I’m just so happy! 😊

(Unrelated but #Technofeudalism is REALLY GOOD - off to go resume reading it for another 20 minutes or so).

Elena I followed your example, and after two day of calling the saints, I jailbroked my kindle with KOReader and simpleui. There is a thing, it does not display the covers, while in standard mode I had them. There is something I should do?

Grazie per l'ispirazione.

@Imprinted great!

re: the covers, I'm not sure. Maybe try take a look on Reddit, there's an active community there (KOreader and KindleJailbreak). For my sleep screen, I uploaded semi-transparent custom wallpapers
