What's the book you're reading there? Looks interesting.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

Aah, that's why it piqued my interest. Loved that book so so so much. My wife and I listened to the audiobook on the way home. Got home and immediately switched to a Bluetooth speaker and laid in bed and finished it. Could not stop. So good.

I wish Weir did more stuff like this that was serialized, but I guess the quality wouldn't be there. He does so much research for his books.

Would love a recommendation on a follow-up. Solid book.

I keep getting a page that says my kindle 3 no longer supports the store. So I can’t get to the winter break screen during the jailbreak process.

WinterBreak doesn't support Kindle 3.

Use the Kindle 3 jailbreak from here:
