ttolliver Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Our club has NSTs right now, but I'm also expecting a transition to one of the lower cost Kindles at some point. It looks like Amazon introduced a lower cost e-ink with touchscreen model that's likely to be our next step late in 2014. Just curious if anyone has given these a spin yet. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I15SB16?ref=spks_0_0_2059610842&ie=UTF8&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-auto-sparkle&pf_rd_r=09C58JXZ6D6X69VS0D0B&pf_rd_p=2059610842&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_i=kindle&qid=1428676660 One particular question is whether these would have the same touch screen issues that make NSTs very challenging to use on rainy days. I'm guessing not since the NST screen (infrared, I believe) seemed to be characterized as the odd man out in touch screen design. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgnoyes Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I don't think you can root those. Kindles don't come with a hidden version of android as the underlying operating system, they instead have a dedicated "browser" for reading text. There literally is nothing there to root.

ttolliver Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks. I suspected that might be the case. I knew the PaperWhite wasn't android. But there was always a chance they merged development paths at some point. I'll keep hoping I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
