@Arteneko kindle 2015 edition

@Arteneko @neauoire I'd like to know as well

@nebunez @Arteneko Kindle Paperwhite 2015

@neauoire @nebunez "With provided ads"

Hahahahahahahahaha
No.

Maybe I'll try to see for the reMarkable or an old kindle

@Arteneko @nebunez there's a pile of second hand kindle at the second hand store, try there before getting a new one. They're pretty much indestructible.

@neauoire where? Is that an online shop?
Cuz we've got no second hand store here :c

@Arteneko Oh, no that's just a place where people get rid of old stuff. They're everywhere in Canada.

@neauoire none south of france sadly :/

@Arteneko I can send you my old non-backlit kindle if you like. May take a little bit since it has to cross from the UK to France but it's free if you want it.

@drisc sure enough

@neauoire @Arteneko This is what I'm looking for now. It appears the 5th gen Kindles are the way to go if you would like to be able to hack it and install an alternate OS at some point.

@nebunez what other OS can you install on it? because I have an even older one (I think) that could use some action, other then books

@kezvh The only one I saw was Hope XII, which may not be available? At the very least you can jailbreak the 5th gen. Here's some more info: https://hackaday.com/category/kindle-hacks/

@gleb that's a mobi, pandoc exports to epub, calibre uploads a mobi.

@rdg yeah it's nautical miles haha, cc @rek

@neauoire @rdg ya, I only just realized that the abbreviation for nautical miles is actually nmi XD, I've always written it as nm.

@neauoire @rdg Easy fix, at least :>

@rek @neauoire @rdg “There is no single internationally agreed symbol, with several symbols in use”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_mile

@mrus @rek @rdg the correct answer is that we should probably be using metric.

@neauoire @mrus @rdg uggggh >_<... right.

@neauoire @mrus @rdg LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE CONVERTING SOME NUMBERS TODAY :'D

@rek @neauoire @rdg don’t forget that knots then become unhandy as well, since then they’re not 1:1 any longer.. hm.

@mrus @neauoire @rdg Not too many mentions of knots at least, easy enough to correct.
I forget what's metric and what isn't, I blame Canada's proximity to the US and former historical ties to the UK. Grew up with the two systems, and used em interchangeably all my life. Ugh, brain scramblies.

@rek @mrus @neauoire a nautical mile is approximately the length of a 1’ arc of latitude over the sea, so I presume that this relation may be useful for navigation. Also if your speed is shown in knots, is easy to do the math in nmi. But I really dislike that two units of length share the same symbol, nm.
