2nd catch, behind the power on time: PWDIS drives: if you’re not using them somewhere with sata 3.2/3.3, you need to use an adapter for the power plug, or some tape, to block pins 1-3 (3.3v) as supplying it to these causes them to reset. Might be worth doing the taping anyway, if you’re using an enclosure or cage (where you can’t use the adapters)
Nook Simple Touch. You can get one with backlight for less than $40 usually.
It takes microSD, android 2.1 (lol)
There’s an easy app to root it, then you install whatever (fbreader, moon, etc), or use it’s built-in reader. The ancient android version means you’ll have to dig for apks that work with it, but once it’s set up, it’s done.
The biggest draw vs newer stuff, is… it’s tiny and light. there’s almost nothing to it, it just works. No browser, no apps, just book.
AFAIK materialize.is is still active, but you need an invite, and I am not “in”, as it were, though I would like to be.
If I’m reading this right, 80_PA is a keygen, and does not need to run on the target system. If it did, how would an android version be useful?
Install it elsewhere and follow its instructions.
Otherwise, if you’re stuck with this as your only system (do you even phone?), it’s VM time.
Reposting as top level comment also: these are PWDIS drives: if you’re not using them somewhere with sata 3.2/3.3, you need to use an adapter for the power plug, or some tape, to block pins 1-3 (3.3v) as supplying it to these causes them to reset.
