  • tbf there is not really a good solution to the ‘ephemeral aspect’ problem

    the only way to truly not sync metadata to or btwn servers at all is to use a p2p model, in which you cant send anything if one of the parties is offline

    simplex might be a bit better in this regard, but still relies on servers for syncing. at least it doesnt extensively replicate metadata like matrix does though

    so it depends on your threat model whether this is a compromise or not




  • used kindle paperwhite, check firmware version to ensure jailbreak

    jailbreak, install koreader

    use calibre to manage library, source books from uh. the seas

    amazon devices have quite good screens for the price

    however, if you are reading comics, you should get a bigger screen probably a tablet, look into boox and meebook, both are android based

    i would not recommend color screens rn, they still have significantly lower contrast and resolution and refresh is slow af
