I too would like my Kindle to do one single thing well. Sadly, we seem to be waiting for that future to arrive.

I remember when my PaperWhite glitched while I was attempting to jailbreak it and got stuck with the screen inverted. It was great! I can't believe I have to jailbreak a reader to get that simple functionality for better in-the-dark reading. (epilogue: I let it run out of battery and the inversion was gone upon boot)

  • You don't need to jailbreak it. Swipe from the top and press the big button labelled "dark mode".

    • It is a somewhat newish feature, I think pre-2020 models don't have dark mode, afaik (and I have no idea how are old devices supported on kindle, I assume launch and forget, could be wrong though).

Yeah, I was going to say. I only installed KOReader because my Kindle Touch has lackluster ereader functionality.
