    Just jail breaking my kindle and installing Koreader on it was enough for me. Now I can directly download books from my calibre server on my Kindle

    For a kobo you can replace the kindle store with your own calibre library so you can download and read any book you have stored in calibre.

      Yeah I have a kobo. You can bypass creating an account and just use calibre. No need to install something that isn’t stock.

    I looked up long time ago about rooting my paperwhite gen 10 but couldn’t find anything. Care to share if you have some links?

      The 10th generation Paperwhite is known as the Paperwhite 4 (PW4). I have one and I jailbroke it many years ago. I’ve even accidentally uninstalled the jailbreak and was able to re-jailbreak it.

      Read all of this very carefully. Make sure that your firmware version is 5.14.2 or earlier.

      Then read (again, carefully) about this jailbreak method and follow the installation instructions.
