> is available for all but the most up-to-date Kindles
Bought one from eBay to try it out. Silly me connected it to wifi and suddenly it’s up to date and no longer breakable

If you want a cheap rooted eReader I think you're better off getting a Kobo instead, they don't officially support rooting but AFAICT they make basically no effort to prevent it.

+1 to a Kobo, they cheaper and better than Kindles, with full Calibre support (https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre - OSS which has been in development for ~20 years!).
The way you install additional software is literally just moving files into folders whilst its plugged into your computer. I'm sure it could handle Tailscale.

I use the Calibre support, but did not know you could install additional software that easily!

Excellent. This plus OPDS will make for easier transfer of files locally.

Or even not locally!

You can also run Syncthing on a jailbroken Kindle. That opens up a world of possibilities!

What kernel version is it running?
I wanted to add an old paperwhite to a kubernetes cluster and the ancient kernel held me back.

I used Tailscale on my remarkable tablet for a while; synchronizing documents over ssh is a lot easier with a static IP. It's fairly hard to get stuff to start on boot on the RM, or at least it was at the time, so I eventually moved off that plan. But it was pretty awesome to be able to ssh in from anywhere in the world.
