The Kindle Modding Guide (WIP)

A (hopefully soon to be) one-stop shop to modding recent (2013+) Amazon Kindles.

NextHow do I know what is my Kindle called?

Last updated 1 year ago

Hello!

This page is an attempt by (Neon) to try and condense, then streamline the information found on and the to hopefully make it more organized, and easier for newcomers to get into.

This guide will only cover non-legacy devices such as the PW2/KT2 and newer.

Any older non-touch devices, or the KT1/PW1 won't be covered here as those are quite different in how they're jailbroken, etc. I'm not sure when I'll be able to make a guide for them as I don't have these old devices to document the steps myself.

This guide is always open to suggestions and improvements. For any inquiries, feel free to contact me through here:

  • Fediverse:

  • Matrix: @neonlight:beeper.com

(please don't use these as help channels though, for that you'd probably want to go to the Telegram instead.)

As always, credits to the original authors, to which this guide would not be possible without their info.

Once you're ready, feel free to start .
