GrapheneOS & Big Tech stuff I still use EW

Loving every bit of my GrapheneOS phone.

I set up a sandboxed "Big Tech" user profile but I have been reluctant to download apps to it.

I still want to keep this darling GrapheneOS phone pretty pure if I can help it.

For now I still have a Kindle account with hundreds of books (sigh) but I was delighted when I realized that you don't need the Kindle app to access them... you can do so on the web at: https://read.amazon.com/ yes you can even highlight book passages!

I find this to be a good enough compromise.

And yes at some point I will definitely export all these books. I already jailbroke 2 Kindles last November and I'm looking into setting myself free from Amazon.

I'm doing the best I can given my time and skills 😓​ but I think using the web instead of a proprietary app (that can track you 24/7) is a good thing.

@elena Which Pixel do you have?
I'm thinking of getting an 8a or 9a.
But was also worried about the recent Google move to defund Android, for the Android security updates required for Graphene.

@QCCEChris 9a and I immediately installed GrapheneOS right after unpacking it. Zero complaints, it's wonderful

@elena
Did you have an issue with the esim aspect, specifically keeping old mobile number? Or, does it come with a sim port?

@QCCEChris no problems with eSIMs so far…
