Yes, let the LLM bias and misinterpret it instead.

Is HN particularly drawn to this over other platforms? I gotta say I don’t quite recognize this. In general, I think there’s a good dose of respect for science around these parts, but maybe I’m blind to it.

Yes, but the question is how it makes money, not whether it could make more money by expanding into other OS’s.

I don’t know that it should be a generation specific thing. I’m a millennial, and I like their look.

Man, you've got to be a real low-life to sell all of that.

No one seems to want to answer your practical question. As I understand it, you receive an email with a payment link. When paid, your email is received by recipient.

I am unsure whether you could use e.g. Apple Pay to pay directly, or if you’d have to follow the microtransaction playbook to buy a greater amount of currency which you can spend.

Nah, you’ve got to go to Chaucer to get the really hard to parse but still understandable stuff.

Depends on the firmware of the device. Latest firmware (anything after version 5.18.5.01 - which released in October 2025) is currently not jailbreakable.

Jailbreak of any firmware after version 5.16.2.1.1 (June 2023) requires the Kindle to be connected and registered.

Anything prior to, and including this version, can be jailbroken with no registration.

Not quite, that’s more like taking pleasure in the misfortune of someone else. It’s close, but the specific relief bit that it is not _your_ misfortune is not captured
