Hackers have already unlocked the new Kindle

Late last year, Amazon introduced updated Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite e-readers. The Kindle Paperwhite received one of the biggest design updates ever, with a larger screen. The entry-level model got a new color and a few other improvements, including faster speeds.

It's not a revolutionary transformation of e-readers, which no one expected. These are two new devices that took the already good foundations of their predecessors and improved them. That's enough for the new Kindle in particular to attract the attention of both e-book lovers and advanced hackers.

A group of aspiring hackers recently managed to “crack” the protection of the Kindle e-book reader from 2024. This is the WinterBreak software, which actually unlocks all the capabilities of the installed Linux operating system. With the help of the new software, users can turn off advertisements, set a screensaver, enable dark mode, and install any applications and even simpler mobile games. Among all, the KOReader software or e-book reader stands out the most, as it supports formats such as EPUB, PDF, DjVu, XPS, CBT, CBZ, FB2, PDB, TXT, HTML, RTF, CHM, DOC, MOBI, and even ZIP files.

Installing the WinterBreak hacking software is not without its risks. Although the instructions are relatively simple to follow, it will void both the warranty and support for your Kindle. More information about WinterBreak is available at https://koreader.rocks/.
