u/imconfusi

Hi all! I'm trying to jailbreak my Kindle as Amazon has decided it's too old to use. It hasn't been registered in years (I'm not sure why tbh) but I went and tried to jailbreak it with NiLuJe K5 (from the kindle modding website I found by googling) as you can probably tell I am an extreme newbie at this. The problem is that the website tells me to update my Kindle but the kindle won't let me do that, as you can see. I've tried an older version of the jailbreak software but that has had absolutely no effect, I restarted and rebooted the kindle but nothing happened.

Help! What do I do? I really want to keep using it.

Welcome to the May edition of our Monthly Shlong Swap Review Exchange!

In this exchange we offer up our long fics and swap with other writers for a minimum of 10k words.

WHAT IS A SHLONG?

DEADLINES (all are 11:59 PM EDT/EST):

To enter: May 7th

To finalize swaps: May 10th

To complete swaps: May 24th

Here’s a time zone converter.

THE RULES

1. Offer up a long fic, or a specific arc of a long fic, which is at least 10k words. Works must be posted at the time of the swap. In your entry include: title and link, fandom, rating, summary, any content warnings (spoiler triggering and NSFW content), and the word count being offered (specifying whether this refers to the whole fic, set number of chapters, or an arc).
2. Look through the thread to find stories to swap for. Swaps can be for chapter count, word count, or a combination of both provided it’s explicitly agreed between both parties upfront. You may turn down a proposed swap for any reason, you don't need to say why.
3. Record your swaps clearly, including the Reddit username of your swap partner (without the ‘u/’) and a counter for the number of chapters you have agreed to review. Mark swaps once they are complete. As below: Swap 1: Reddit Username - 0/4 Swap 2: Reddit Username - 3/5 Swap 3: Reddit Username - 10/10 - completed Participants may not have more than three incomplete swaps at any time.

If you are unable to find a swap partner by the deadline, you have no review obligations. However please do not delete your entry as the mod team will need to take note of this.

IMPORTANT All the usual subreddit rules apply. As per Rule 8, all reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, and detailed, with a minimum of 50 words about the fic itself per chapter, demonstrating you’ve actually read the agreed portion of the fic.

Concrit (constructive criticism) and mentioning you are “fandom blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only. Don’t include any of these in your reviews unless the author has explicitly said they are welcome.

As always, any concerns or questions about the exchange or the comments received should be directed to the mod team

Happy May and happy Shlonging!
