Using my 4th generation kindle
Posted Jan 20, 2024
I got this kindle for âŦ30 in Germany because, well, there weren't many books in English for me to read. I'd had enough of the Twilight series I had gotten my hands on, and decided I needed a kindle, so I got an old, beaten up one off eBay. It's served me well, and I've started using it again.
I don't hold Amazon to high standards, and although their support for old devices isn't stellar, it still works, with a bit of finicking[1]. One of my favorite things about it is that you're able to send webpages to it. Despite how much I do it, I hate reading on my phone, so sending it to my kindle makes things a bit more pleasant.
I did run into an issue where the kindle android app wouldn't send things properly, but thanks to an old reddit thread you can get around this by
- Sharing the webpage to the kindle
- Immediately opening the kindle app afterward
Then the little notification should pop up saying it was sent, and should show in a few minutes.
Many words that I've never had to type out make me realize how strange they are. So common, yet I've never once thought about the spelling. I wonder if it's an East coast thing? âŠī¸
