Hi,

for those who have Kindle at home and don't want to use Amazon's Infrastructure I prepared this blog post which describes how to jailbreak your Kindle and install open-source software on it :)

After you are done you will:

  • have KOReader installed
  • be able to load epub books into the Kindle via email
  • create epub books from browser tabs

Post here: Kindle Jailbreak

I believe that if you already have Kindle laying around it could be beneficial to use it without Amazon software instead of buying Kobo/another alternatives.
Or course - don't buy a brand new Kindle just to do the jailbreak, you can invest your money to a different company

When I realized it could be actually done I was also over the moon - now I can have all my tech articles and local news in my KOReader, no more reading on the laptop!

Good luck with your MtG stories, feel free to share them once they are ready, I would be interested

It's also possible to generate epubs via wallabag
