That's cool. I may keep an eye out for old Kindles in thrift stores and whatnot. With the advent of android tablets that just have e paper displays, I probably will try those before buying another kindle.

Anyone know how to set custom screen idle images after doing this? I've been wanting to put 'Don't Panic' on my 6th gen paperwhite since I got it but it's so locked down that wasn't possible.

Custom sleep picture is one of the features of KOReader. Pretty easy to spot it in the settings.

Is there a way to change the Library to be able to see epub files? I have KOReader installed now, but I have to go through the directory to find my epub files.

You can set a specific folder as the "home" folder on koreader by long pressing the folder where your files are located. I put all my epubs in there with moisaic viewing style.

Giving me something to do with my current kindle. I wasn't sure how to load to it my downloaded books, so I've been suffering on my phone, but hopefully this helps me out a bunch. Thanks. This is a rabbit hole I never knew existed.
